Wesabe makes saving money social
17th Nov 2006, 04:52 GMT
Community web site Wesabe lets users share their financial experiences with the hope that doing so will help them make better financial decisions to meet their goals. Collecting user-submitted tips and goals, Wesabe packs in a lot of punch for those inclined to thriftiness. Additionally, Wesabe lets its users manage all of their financial information inside Wesabe, complete with tagging, editing, and rules for purchasing. The cool part about this is that Wesabe leverages user-submitted data to make your own data more readable and usable. To do this, you need to upload a bank or credit card account (enter gasps and guffaws) either through their site or using their desktop updaters (available in Windows and Mac flavors). Obviously you'll have to decide for yourself whether or not you're comfortable with this, but Wesabe's privacy and security statements sound pretty strong. Keep in mind that you can still use Wesabe if you choose not to upload your info, but you don't get the personalized approach. — Adam Pash Wesabe
