Mint.com to be acquired by Intuit

This week, mint.com announced that it will be acquired by Intuit, makers of Quicken and TurboTax. I use mint.com to manage my personal finances and I think it's great. With mint.com, you can combine your various online financial accounts (banking, credit card, mortgages, investments, etc.) into a single mint.com account, which makes it much easier to track your overall financial picture. There are also great budgeting and "ways to save" tools. And it's free.

Don't know how this acquisition by Intuit will affect mint.com. Hopefully, there won't be any negative changes to the website. There are also some cool opportunities for integration between mint.com and a product like TurboTax. For instance, I could imagine that TurboTax could suck in the information from mint.com that you had labeled as charitable giving.

Check out mint.com if you haven't already. It's not intended for business use, but for personal use, it's really good.
