Mint is pretty Web 0.1

So some company called Mint won Jason Calacanis’ TechCrunch40. Looks pretty cool, kind of like Wells Fargo’s old One Look service (yeah shoemoney said the same thing) in their site that showed you what you were blowing spending your money on. Pretty cool, except when I tried it it told me it couldn’t connect to my tiny little bank named Wells Fargo. Pretty lame first experience guys, but congrats on the 50k.

update: Wow, the CEO responded to my little blog post! That’s impressive for how much attention they have been getting of late and how busy he much be. Kudos for paying attention to technorati and us little guys. Being so impressed by this attention, I gave mint another try. This time it took my wells fargo info but is stuck on “downloading transactions.” It even logged me out, then when I logged back in it had the same widget up with the status bar staying “downloading transactions.” Wierd, but maybe I just have a lot of transactions?

Either way, let me just congratulate Mint on winning the TechCrunch50, which by all accounts had some really great companies presenting, and give Kudos to its CEO Aaron Patzer for being on the ball.
