Heard this scary news: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/05/19/financial-exposure-rudder-inadvertently-
shows-users-each-others-bank-account-info/

I just deleted my a/c at mint.com. My financial data is too sensitive to be thrown all over the web (rudder.com, mint.com etc…)

Jesse, that’s exactly why I wrote my big long rant about them on opening day. Not much has changed.

No one else is bothered by not being able to create your own categories in MINT? It’s useless to me if I can’t do that. And why can’t I? How hard could that be for the developers? I just checked again last week with MINT customer service and they confirmed you can’t. Also, you can’t delete transactions. Bum stone drag! And, what do you MINT fans do if, say, you charge $50 gas to your card and your friend pays you $25 cash for her share for a trip you take together? MINT is too dummed down for the sake of “ease” of use.

I have been using Mint for a few months now and am generally happy with it. Some issues:

As noted above, delay in emailing alerts.

Sometimes, I get duplicate emails. Either one will be fairly timely and the other one a week or more later or both will appear within a day or two of each other. Very confusing!

Have you seen our Electric CheckBook entry for RailsRumble07? It was completely designed and built by our 3-man team during the 48-hour Rails competition.

ElectricCheckBook – http://electriccheckbook.com
RailsRumble07 – http://vote.railsrumble.com

Its flexible double-entry ledgers can be shared within a group enabling remote partners, your accountant and spouse to share access to the appropriate accounts without emailing files back and forth.

Mint is obviously a bit more mature, but ours was designed, developed and launched in 48 hours. It has already replaced Quickbooks for our small distributed team and handles our accounting, project budgeting, and contractor timesheets. We’ll continue to add features that we need to manage our personal and business finances.
