manage personal finances
In a State of the City address crafted for a recession era, Mayor Bloomberg said he will reduce government spending, streamline city agencies, and assist debt-ridden New Yorkers by establishing a $10 million fund to help refinance mortgages, and starting a new banking program that will offer accounts with no minimum balances or hidden fees. “The city can't manage anyone's personal finances but we can make it easier for New Yorkers to manage their own — and we will,” he said.
In terms of cuts and reductions, the Mayor said he will merge the Department of Juvenile Justice and the Administration for Children's Services, combine the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting and NYC TV, reduce the number of city-owned cars, and save $40 million in rent and energy costs by cutting city office space by 10 percent over the next four years. He will also launch a new inter-agency task force to “consolidate,” “centralize,” and “reduce” government operations.
Bloomberg announced some new proposals, calling for a $750 million rescue fund for owners of distressed apartment buildings, expanding the NYPD's Lower Manhattan Security Initiative into Midtown, installing GPS devices on some school buses, and leading an effort to help New York residents who are undocumented Haitian immigrants apply for temporary protective status so they can stay in the country legally for 18 months. The Times found the address to be more “focused more on the incremental rather than the innovative,” while the Daily News claims that “espite campaign pledges to keep coming up with bold ideas, many of his points are familiar,” like his promise to keep development of the World Trade Center site on schedule, which he said he would do last year.
Pageonce has quietly built a solid business by aggregating its user’s various online accounts into one place. They’ve got over 1.3 million registered users and recently raised a $6.5 million Series B round. And though Pageonce hardly gets neither the fame nor the fortune of its competitor (Mint), it is still a very solid way to manage your online accounts. Unlike Mint, which focuses on personal finances, Pageonce’s goal is to provide you with a one-stop view of all of your online accounts, including financial, travel, e-mail and social networking.
Though a single web interface for all of those accounts may be unnecessary, it is a perfect service for mobile devices. Specifically, the Pageonce iPhone App – “Personal Assistant” – is done extremely well, and I still use it to this day. It blows Mint’s iPhone App out of the water.
Today, Pageonce launches TripTracker [iTunes Link]. This is a free iPhone App ($1 removes the ads) that enables you to keep track of all of our trip itineraries – hotels and flights specifically – on the go.
As a consultant for Accenture, I travel basically every week, so the value proposition of having a one-stop shop for all my trip updates is extremely compelling. But obviously, TripIt already does that – so what makes TripTracker different? For TripIt, you forward all of your itineraries to an e-mail address (plans@tripit.com) and it automatically parses your itinerary and populates your flight information. Instead, with TripTracker, you provide your frequent flyer and hotel rewards program ID and password, and it pulls all the information for you. They call it “automagically” updating your flight and hotel details.
Ultimately, the difference between TripIt and TripTracker is a matter of preference. For a frequent traveler like me, who has racked up over 60,000 miles in 4 months, it probably makes sense to go with TripTracker. I always use my frequent flyer ID when booking a reservation, and so why bother with forwarding my itineraries to TripIt (which is, though still easy, slightly more difficult). For someone who travels a bit less and doesn’t always bother with frequent flyer programs, TripIt is still the way to go.
TripIt also could not parse the data from the itineraries sent by my corporate travel program, whereas TripTracker goes around that issue by pulling the itinerary details from the airline websites. Furthermroe, the TripTracker iPhone app has weather reports and airport information whereas TripIt does a better job with push notifications and has a better user interface. Either way, now you never have to worry about losing your travel details while on the go.
