Great integration with my online banking and Quicken...nevertheless, it was Aaron's (the CEO of Mint) comments on TechCrunch that made me reconsider. His replies to user concern's about security/privacy were canned and he dug himself a DEEP HOLE in the Comments thread HERE: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/07/mint-rakes-it-in/#comments He insists that Mint only requires your e-mail address and zip code - and did not address concerns regarding the misleading claims made by Mint's advertisers (i.e. Verizon, Comcast, etc.) that suggest switching service providers. Sorry...but if he didn't know how to defend his product he really should not have engaged in conversation with TechCrunch readers.

He insists that Mint only requires your e-mail address and zip code – and did not address concerns regarding the misleading claims made by Mint’s advertisers (i.e. Verizon, Comcast, etc.) that suggest switching service providers.

Sorry…but if he didn’t know how to defend his product he really should not have engaged in conversation with TechCrunch readers.

If it were up to me, the house would be littered with lots of electronic equipment that only I would adore and the garage would be loaded with outdoor gear that only I would appreciate. Holly rules!

That just rocks! If I didn't have such a great situation now, I would be beating down Mint's door to try to jump on that bus.
