Mint.com acquired by Intuit

[FP]

Link

Looks like I have to look for another money mgmt app.

Anyone use Yodlee? I know Mint used their data but I have heard their site sucks.

 

[vshah]

why do you need to switch? it says they'll continue running it?

 

[FP]

I swore off Intuit and Quicken many years ago.

They are going to destroy Mint. It is inevitable.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

mint is based off yodlee isnt it or was it the other way around?

edit: whoops its in the OP.

yodlee is actually the same. I've used it before... slightly different but it seems to have more features... but then again mint updated recently and i havent used my Yodlee acct since.

I just manage my money by looking at my bank account. If the balance is above 0, yay. If it is 0 or below, oh no! You don't need a service...jeez.

 

[TheWart]

Why not at least give Mint a chance to survive? At least the founder of Mint is staying on with Intuit as their new lead manager for online services or something like that.

 

[TwiceOver]

Still not as good as Microsuck Money. And yet they are killing that off too...

 

[Miramonti]

Quicken doesn't give a crap about mint.com, they just realized they were growing in popularity and wanted to kill it before it took more marketshare and became more expensive to derail later.

 

[Safeway]

Yea, they will kill off Mint.com -- I use it on my iPhone. Lovely app.

that's not the point of mint. well, not entirely. then again, I'm odd and like data... but all the graphs and spending tracking is great. automatically done for me, I don't have to dig through any statements (not that I ever did, was too lazy).

As much as I know how much I spend, it's just always nice to see it in a graph relative to other things. But if it doesn't work for you, eh, no need to use it.

 

[ViviTheMage]

wow, that sucks ...

 

[cw42]

I've used Yodlee for a while now, its been great.

I was just really starting to like mint too. I hope this doesn't ruin mint but I'm not too hopeful =

I know! What's with these morans trying to manage their money by knowing how much they spend where - gosh! I bet some of them want to retire or have savings too, the nerve.

 

[edro]

It has never connected to my ING accounts reliably... so it's pretty much worthless.

Crazy oogabooga, don't you know all Atoters have a billion dollars in the bank and buy a new house to take a crap in and then leave while still carrying the mortgage?

You can take that to the bank, no pun intended.

I've been doing TurboTax online for the last 4 years, so they already had it anyway. I'll keep using Mint as long as it's free.

What a foolish way to manage your money. You must be a child, earning money like a child, and spending money on childish things. Everyone knows this.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

cool, maybe they will improve it!

It's much more complicated than that i'm sure.

The only money management tool I use is self control.

 

[narzy]

it would be awesome if intuit managed to take advantage of mints skills but the company tends to destroy everything it touches.
