What do the bloggers have to say this week? Let’s go on another tour of the ‘sphere and find out!

Josh Rimer gets us started with a very interesting article on the business prospects of YouTube. It may be a good video sharing service for amateurs, but did you know that you can make a million dollars on YouTube?

Susan Gernhart shares a very powerful lesson that many of us have to learn and accept: skinny does not equal fit. A thin person isn’t necessarily “in good shape” when compared to a person who may be a little heavier. Don’t forget about things like cardiovascular health, muscle strength, flexibility, and even mental health!

Trent Hamm approaches a question posed by one of his readers. When it comes to children, what should allowance pay for? It’s good to give your children an allowance to help them learn about money management, but how should those funds be spent? What should be paid for outside of the allowance?

Darren Barefoot, possibly at the behest of his colleagues and friends, finally got around to watching The Social Network.

After all, it’s only about a soulless schizoid who makes tons of money.
