From the article:
Following the close of the acquisition, Aaron Patzer and the Mint team will remain in charge of Mint.com to continue both its principles and its fast pace of progress.
We’re not planning to change Mint.com and make it like Quicken. Quite the opposite. Aaron and team will also run Quicken and Quicken.com to ensure this doesn’t happen. Plus they will benefit from this larger pool of resources. I want Mint thinking to infuse Quicken.
While the post comes across as genuine, I wonder if by spreading the Mint.com team thinner, across all the Intuit products, they will really be able to "...continue both its principles and its fast pace of progress."
- javery 17y agoI thought that was weird as well, who want's to run two competing projects? Quicken Online and Mint are basically direct competitors. Which one do you spend your time on? When you have a new feature do you put it in both?
- philwelch 17y agoBest case scenario for the new Quicken Online: .htaccess: Redirect 301 / http://www.mint.com/
- iamwil 17y agoOr once all of mint's goodness is infused into Quicken, Mint gets killed.
- gruseom 17y agoI agree. It's not possible to run it without being constrained by it.
