Intuit shuts Quicken Online, turns focus to Mint.com

Intuit, maker of Quicken, QuickBooks and TurboTax, will shut down its free Quicken Online personal finance site in six to nine months and focus on newly bought Mint.com.

The company closed on its $170m (£100m) acquisition of Mint on 2 November. That made Mint founder and chief executive Aaron Patzer the new vice president and general manager of Intuit's Personal Finance Group, heading up Mint.com, Quicken Online and Quicken desktop products.
