Wesabe Launched!
Today was a big day for us at Wesabe. Our site is live and available for everyone to use.
We set out to build a tool to help people gain control over their money, and we believe we have accomplished our goal. It isn’t perfect and we have a ton of features we want to add, but this product helps people right now.
We have been helped on this journey by an amazing number of people who gave their encouragement, time, feedback, patience and, truth be told, love (particularly our familes).
From all of us at the Wesabe team, welcome! We can’t wait to meet you.

Who owns (y)our data?…
The panel I most wish I had been at the Web 2.0 Summit to see is the one on Open Data (see “Web 2.0 Confab Takes Aim at Closed Platforms” and “Google CEO Eric Schmidt: We Would Never Trap User Data“). In Marc Hedlund’s sum…

Can I recommend a question to add to your FAQs?
1) How do you make money?
- If you don’t accept ads, does this mean accounts will not be free in the future?

Karl,
Thanks for the suggestion - we’ll do just that.

You need more explanation on the site. The “tour” will not load for me, maybe it is my bandwidth..

OK, I managed to see the video.. Your site looks very interesting. It might be a good replacement for Quicken if it works as good as it looks on the video. Can I also keep track of stock trading accounts on Wesabe? Will you also offer tax preparation software or the ability to download from Wesabe to Turbotas or H&R Block?

Hi, David,
We don’t currently support investment accounts, but we plan to add them as we understand that they are a key part of people’s full financial life. We are also planning to offer a variety of download formats for tax preparation purposes, including Excel. Feel free to drop me a line at support@wesabe.com if you have any other questions.
