mint.com - a 'mint' fresh concept

Yesterday, I stumbled upon this site called mint.com and before that the only mint I knew was the Mumbai based newspaper, owned by WSJ. Anyway, this is the most amazing personal finance tool that I have seen so far. First thing: its free so, anyone can try it without making an investment. And signing up is fast and easy. I was amazed to note that it doesn't ask your name during signup. After the sign-up, you are asked for your bank account details and then mint.com automatically links to the banks to download your everyday transactions. The best part is that it automatically classifies them into food, shopping, entertainment etc, so really know where all your money is going. You an link your credit card account and your savings, if any :) Check it out for yourself!

BTW another surprising fact is that the company was founded and is currently run by 27 year old CEO Aaron Patzer.
