Mint is a new personal finance web app that is touted as being better and easier than Quicken. Mint just won the Techcrunch 40 competition and is now one of the hotest new web applications on the Internet.

Some of the cool things that you can do with Mint are:

• Easy setup with over 3,500 participating financial institutions
• Organize of all of your financial accounts in one place
• Quickly view balances in checking, savings and credit card accounts
• Balances are automatically kept up to date
• Generate reports on how you are spending your money, e.g. groceries, entertainment, cars, gas, insurance
• Know when banks are offering high interest rate savings accounts and low interest rate credit card promotions (this is how Mint makes money)
• Provide recommendations for saving money based upon your spending habits
• Provide bill reminders
