I wrote a story months ago about new online web sites that allow you to aggregate all of your bank account and card account information in one place. Many of the sites offer helpful tools such as mobile banking and alerts for low balances. The FREE sites– Geezeo, Wesabe, and Mint, also make it easy to see whether you are indeed spending all of your money at Target or the bar down the street, whether you like it or not. Much easier than Quicken.

At the time, Quicken had said a pared-down, online program was in the works.Behold– Quicken Online. It certainly doesn’t have the clever name of the sites clearly going after the Google generation, but it does have name recognition and may be the answer for people who want a low calorie version of the venerable program.

It also charges a $3 monthly fee. I guess that’s no different than upgrading the software yearly, but it will have to deliver something more than is offered from the free sites.

Who wants to sign up for the 30 day free trial with me?
