Thanks for the info, Cap. But what kind of time-frame are we looking at? When can I at least join the beta? Or is Mint as secretive and tight-lipped as Steve Jobs & Apple Inc???

Ok, now you’re just being plain MEAN! It’s not nice to tease people with phrases like “patent pending algorithms.” I swooned a bit when I read that.

While I don’t know about superior as I have not use Wesabe yet, Mint does have a few major differences (as far as I can tell from reading the Wesabe site). For starters, we are not a social networking site, and we do not require you to export/import your statement to our site.

We also do not require you to download any software, as the application is entirely web-based (so you can access it anywhere in the world). Finally, we have patent pending algorithms that shows you personalized ways to save and make more money.

Edit: You know now that I think about it, I really should check Wesabe out too, gonna setup an account right now

Atish you just replaced my former hero (no one) with yourself, congratulations.

I hate to break the mood but do you think you could explain how Mint will save me money, and how exactly the company itself makes money?

P.S.- You make some kick a** i mean arse music.
