The updated look at mint.com is nice, if a little heavy handed in their endorsement of Apple. The real story here, is that they have opened up their data to passerby on the web. Now you can try to make your own insights like the ones found here: Mint Opens Up Its Data: See How Spending Is Truly Trending. It’s a nice step, but access to the data seems quite restricted to me. I’d really like to see an API released, allowing people to come up with their own visualizations of the data. I’m sure that’s its own can of privacy worms tho…
How do your spending habits compare? I’m definitely under the median (unsurprisingly) http://data.mint.com/region/us/massachusetts/boston
