Ken Li over at Reuters has what appears to be the first report out today about the new personal finance channel from AOL called WalletPop. The launch comes as the portals are gearing up personal finance sites which have become increasingly popular.

around for just about a year. In our recent talk with Google’s R.J.
Pittman, he talks about global expansion of Google Finance. I’ve
reposted our interview above.
