What’s Sizzling? – August 14th Edition

Thanks for a fantastic week of record-breaking traffic as the blog is starting to catch on to a much wider audience. I’m thrilled that more and more of you are coming by to see what all the buzz…uhh, sizzle, is about.

• Man vs. Debt shares the 16 pieces of information identity thieves look for when they look to…well, steal your identity.
