New features on lovemoney.com

Been a tad busy of late, lots going on, not to mention the scramble over the last fortnight to get goals live onlovemoney.com. Goals is a handy personal finance app that helps you identify and achieve personal finance goals. You get given a few goals that are deemed suitable when you register and you can also visit the goals hub page and subscribe to goals you think may help you save a bit (or a lot) of cash.

The goals app is the latest of a string of new benefits designed to make it even more compelling to sign-up with the site (if you haven't signed-up, it's highly recommended.) Any feedback on the site or the new app is very welcome.

There's a bit more info on how goals works, here.

In a bit, Carl

Social media communities around financial goals... interesting... actually very clever! The community feeds it's own ideas and the content is completely saleable. however, why aren't you contextually serving services based on the goals? Surely this real estate is absolute gold!! I do love your site. I'm based in London too, so happy to do a product review if you ever want one. Cheers

Thanks for the post, really pleased you like the idea and the site.

It's an interesting point, we have the ability to do that but wanted the focus to be on an application that worked 1) giving users the context and means to get things done 2) encourage each other to suggest clever and new ways of approaching the less "transient" financial hurdles we all face.

So, yeah, primarily it's the social aspects of the app we are focused on building up right now.

That's not to say contextually serving services is necessarily at odds with the above, there may be a non-intrusive way of doing it that is effective...

(By the way, a product review would be great...)

Best wishes,
Carl
