have been using Mint for 2 months now and have very good first impressions. I must agree, as a grad student it would be great to have a student loan option. Also, I was wondering what business applications exist for Mint. For example, a manager who is overseeing 6 salespeople could link each of their company cards to Mint and have their expenses categorized daily. This way trends can be spotted and abuse monitored. What other business applications can Mint offer to the workplace?
