Quicken Online Threatens Mint.com - Best Of...

Quicken Online were so bewildered by Mintâ??s claims of gaining 3,000 new users a day and jumping from 600,000 to 850,000 users in a matter of months that they decided to send a threatening letter demanding an explanation for this apparently inconceivable feat. See what Alex and Kevin have to say about it and who they side with.

Umm, Intuit DID buy mint.com in 2009!

[Ingeborg1941]

I hate the faul language!

I find this video totally unprofessional with the left guy interrupting and the foul language from both of them. Mint.com sounds like a valuable program for personal finances, but if these guys are representing the company the company should go down the tube. Disgusting!

the blond guy on the left is just immensely irritating!!!

Overall a substantive news item... think about it... sending a _public_ "we don't believe you're telling the truth about how strong your growth is" to your "competitor?" The format of this video news review is vey social media appropriate combined w/ the tried and true "commentator and color analyst" format. Furthermore, this very well may be a strategic marketing, legally and financially savvy ploy on Intuit's part (i.e., pre-acquisition gamesmanship)? We'll see how it plays out.

what are the medals for on the guys shirt..? Like others have stated..this vid would be much better minus the douchebag on the left. Shut the F up..yeah yeah yeah...when do you ever...ever shut the f up?

Apparently quicken caved and made a substantial offer to Mint.com. Mint.com also links to Turbo tax and seamlessly groups your tax related items.

5 features not mentioned:

Dave Ramsey Financial Peace friendly if you set up your goals accordingly

I let mint do its work entirely without me changing categories each time with rules

Helped me pinpoint exceedingly high categories, allowing me to lower my bills

[nikkormac]

they're both yelling. why are they yelling?

[sushifever84]

The guy on the left, I believe his name is Alex should leave this show, very unprofessional. He keeps interrupting, talks a lot of nonsense, he looks gross! I wanted to hear what the guy on the right had to say but I can't understand it because this loser on the left can't shut up.
