Intelligent Life Corporation has announced that it has purchased Green Magazine, Inc. Green delivers personal finance and investment advice. Green founder Ken Kurson will remain Green's Editor-in-Chief and will work with Intelligent Life to refine its editorial message on theWhiz.com, its personal finance website.

Kurson is currently the money columnist for Esquire and The Source magazines, appears regularly on National Public Radio's Marketplace program, and is a weekly commentator on CNNfn's Take it Personally program. Kurson is also the author of The Green Magazine Guide to Personal Finance (Doubleday).

"We are very impressed by Ken's energy and dedication to his readers," said G. Cotter Cunningham, Senior Vice President of Intelligent Life. "He increases our credibility and expertise in areas like investing, where we are eager to expand our offerings. In addition, Green's headquarters in New York City gives us easier access to the world's financial markets."

"When John Packel and I started Green we dreamed of a day like today," said Kurson. "I'm thrilled by the opportunity to bring Green's sense and sensibility to the growing audience Intelligent Life is building, and I'm proud to play for this team."
