A New Free Web Finance Tool That Rivals Quicken and Microsoft Money!

I often keep track of new tech innovations by reading Robert Scoble’s Scobleizer blog. Robert used to work for Microsoft’s channel 9 web site and he now works as the Vice President of Media Development at Podtech.net. He has written a fantastic book called Naked Conversations, which chronicles blogging as a transparent tool for companies to reach their customers. It is an interesting read for those of you that are interested in blogging.

In his current position Robert travels the world uncovering exciting new innovations. The video below is an interview Robert made with Arron Patzer who created a new financial web tool called mint.com that was unveiled at the TechCrunch 40 conference on September 17th in San Francisco. The video shows how this online application could rival Quicken. I always recommend that my clients keep track of their finances as a powerful way for them to keep tabs on their financial goals. This looks like a new low cost way to do it. The video makes it look interesting, but I have yet try it myself. Let me know if you have tried it and what you think!
