Thanks, Globe Magazine!

We got a nice surprise over the weekend when the Boston Globe Magazine included us in its Sunday feature on “Sixty-four websites on Boston life that you should know.” The story is definitely worth checking out. Even for those of us who live on the web these days, it holds some great discoveries on everything from checking out the local night life scene to real estate, sports, the arts, history, politics (if you haven’t had enough of that for four years), shopping, and even crime watching.

Xconomy made the list as one of two financial business sites of note. The other is Boston Gal’s Open Wallet. According to the Globe Magazine, “Its anonymous writer shares her finances in depth (net worth in November: $486,054) and her strategies for wealth.”

You can find the entire list here.
