I know Mint is from Intuit and practically every small-to-mid-size business 
trusts Intuit with all their data all the time anyway, but...I still don't use 
it. I don't think I even *could* really. My bank's online banking is a full-
featured webapp with graphs comparing spending on different categories by 
month, alerts when I've spent more than 75% of the month's travel or food 
budget, etc...and I'm pretty sure also completely incompatible with Mint.
