# NetworthIQ sees users surge after Aussie ink

Portland-based [NetworthIQ](http://networthiq.com "NetworthIQ"), the site that helps individuals track—and promote–their financial net worth, is reporting a surge in users after receiving [favorable coverage in news.com.au](http://www.news.com.au/business/money/story/0,25479,22633570-14327,00.html "NetworthIQ in News.com.au").

Via the newswire that is [Twitter](http://twitter.com/turoczy "Twitter"), I’m hearing numbers [north of 200](http://twitter.com/networthiq/statuses/356522952 "NetworthIQ reports more than 200 users"), but shy of the one-day record of [391 set by the New York Times](http://twitter.com/networthiq/statuses/357494372 "NetworthIQ in New York Times").

Inspired by the personal finance bloggers who feel liberated enough to share their net worth with the world, and other social sites (Flickr, 43things, del.icio.us, upcoming.org), NetworthIQ was conceived as a place where people can track, share and compare their financial status. The company describes it as a “social personal finance tool.”
