They were working for their investors. Now after a temporary transition stint with Intuit, they won't have to work for anyone.

Just use yodlee.com (they power Mint's backend anyway). I've been a happy user for years. I agree with your second statement: to the uninformed observer (me and everyone else in this thread) something does seem off. Bank and credit card lea

It's the same thing as Yodlee.com (literally - Yodlee powers its backend) with a prettier user interface and waaaay better marketing.

It's just a guess, not a certainty. Your mind seems pretty made up about Mint without knowing all the details surrounding the acquisition. What's kind of funny is the vast majority of the 37signals philosophy I agree with. Hell, we turned d

I look forward to it. Just remember I'm not saying they should do nothing, but rather they can work on something that doesn't need to be monetizable. I think the post will end up being contrarian just to be contrarian. This site and YCombin

I don't know...being a public company kinda sucks. Unless you're into substantial overhead costs ($10 MM per year), red tape, excessive meetings and chief diversity officers. I'm not sure if an IPO is the subtext; I couldn't imagine 37signa

Please. $170 million is "fuck you" money. Aaron and I'm guessing many of the top founders/executives made enough money to never ever have to work again. Fake revolutions are cute and all, but think of how awesome it would be to never ever

Techcrunch create rumors and controversy to get links, mentions and pageviews? Never! Maybe there won't be a future TC50, but what about a TC60 or TC100? Haven't they run that gag before?

But the 20% ROI was only for the last round of investors who hadn't participated before not all the investors.

The key is that it's nothing new to the SEO community, but it's plenty new to many small businesses and startup founders.

While I mostly agree with you, Google could easily say: "Fine, then we won't include you in our index". Such an action would easily cripple thousands upon thousands of businesses. It also shows how important it is for Google to have a legit

I'm trying to think of any question headlines I've cared for. My mind is blank.

Well duh, Fansnap has a 1 million dollar per year ad budget :). And now it's 15k vs 15 million! In seriousness though, Fansnap has done a kick ass job on many many fronts. Luckily the market is a $4 billion industry so I think there's room
