PageOnce Beta: Two Lattes Left On My Starbucks Card
I’d been tracking PageOnce since news of their funding (for a “Net Valet Service“) hit the streets last November. PageOnce is supposed to be a PageFlakes for your entire electronic life within reach. Credit cards, bank accounts, Ebay bids - everything. Unlike Mint, the goal is to cover as much of my life as possible.
These days I get a creepy feeling just entering my social security number. Handing my credit cards over to a beta site was just a little too unnerving. I started out with something tame - but would prove its functionality. I entered my Starbucks Card number and within a minute my balance popped up next to the little Starbucks icon.
Other reviewers have likened this new app to the iPhone - it is killer. But what I want to be able to do is just not view - but to manage! For example, showing the different interest rates on all my credit cards, allowing me to select the right one to fund my Starbucks card right there on the page.
And I can track almost all my social networking profiles and accounts here as well.
Techturf has some negative impressions, and I agree with some of the reservations Pamela has over the aggregation trend as a whole. Privacy and data portability will continue to conflict, and you do need to be careful out there.
But hey - my American Airlines miles, Facebook stuff, and latte balance all in one place. This is a good start.
PS - Need invites? Track me down here. Be nice and digg or stumble me first ![]()
