I first noticed information about Mint online personal finance software back in May and I initially questioned why there was so much buzz without Mint actually being available for use. Noah Kagan from Mint.com responded to my question to confirm that Mint did indeed exist, but it was currently in beta and needed further testing.

Weeks went on as I waited for a response to my beta test application or for Mint to go live. I began to wonder if Noah was pulling a "War of the Worlds"-like stunt with the Mint blog, resulting in millions of Mint believers but no real Mint. Then true confirmation of Mint's existence arrived in the form of a beta invite in my email in August.

Mint is great for those who want to track their financial accounts but do not want to use fully-featured personal finance software. Mint is simple, and it has a couple of nifty features that make it unique Online Personal Finance Software

I use it and find it simple, easy and not overloaded with a bunch of stuff that overwhelms me. Many nifty features that some of the big guys should consider (Money, Quicken, etc.). Would suggest folks check it out.
