Mint.com

After reading about it as the best free money app around, I followed the link to www.mint.com.  

I have to say that they have put together an impressive package that packs style, simplicity, and several useful tools to a free site.  And I have hopes that it will stay free because it's painfully clear where they plan on getting their revenues.  They link at almost every turn to money saving offers that range from savings accounts giving a higher APR to credit cards giving a lower APR or higher rewards.  

The biggest problem is that on several of my accounts it is clear that they are unaware of the details and have overstated my potential savings.  My credit card apparently has no rewards, even though it's one of the best out there, and the same is true of one of my savings accounts.  But despite this, it is an impressive page and worth checking out if you're not afraid to give up your protected online log in info.
