Intuit To Acquire Mint For $170 Million
wow. what really impresses me is mint isn't an engineering company - they're a marketing company that put some ajax on top of yodlee. yodlee's been around for over 10 years and they never built a brand or a community like mint.mint is now #1 on my 'notes to self' when i get so focused on engineering my way to a solution i forget sometimes its' better to partner with a competitor and move on.they outsourced the hard stuff (scraping/banking relationships) and then focused on building a product. nice work, brilliant execution.
