“We’re honored that Mint has been recognized among 2008’s best products by PC World, and are thrilled to have been honored by the magazine three times since our September, 2007 launch,” said Aaron Patzer, CEO and founder of Mint.com. “This award speaks to Mint.com’s relevance as a useful, everyday tool – which is now helping more than 250,000 people better manage their personal finances.

The respected 100 Best Products Awards honor products that meld practical features with innovation and reflect the rapidly changing technology marketplace.
