Intuit Accuses Mint Of False Claims

Intuit, the maker of money management software,  Quicken, is accusing an emerging competitor, Mint, of making false claims. Mint claims that it has gone from 3,000 new users a day to 850,000 users in a matter of months.

So Mint.com exaggerates claims about their popularity. What company doesn't, and furthermore who gives a shit. Their unique hits were not a factor in my signing up for the service, and the fact that there are 400,000 less unique visitors than they claim, doesn't impact my use one bit. I find Mint to be an incredibly useful site which I'm sure Daya Baran would agree with if he/she had actually *used* it before calling it a "fad". The fact that Intuit is splitting hairs like this inspires even less respect than I had after my many attempts at getting Quicken to sync with my several credit card and bank accounts, something that Mint does effortlessly. Sounds like sour grapes to me Intuit!
