Since Mint.com got a nice mention for the TechCrunch40, a conference about new web APPs, I guess I can finally start talking about the Mint.com beta that I was in. Look, it’s all Web 2.0 and everything! (Sarcasm intended) Overall Mint.com is a nice web APP where you hook up your financial accounts to one… Read more »

I made a post while back about “All in one Apps” and how none of the larger web companies had really given this enough wait. Well Yahoo! I guess is taking it seriously. Yahoo! just bought Zimbra for a whole lot of money. We have been using the Zimbra client at my work for a… Read more »
