Today I found some time to listen to a couple podcasts that I enjoy. It's hard for me to listen to podcasts and do anything else while still being able to follow the podcast. Today on the 'Comsumerism Commentary' podcast they were talking about a site to help individuals manage their finances. The site was: https://www.adaptu.com/index.jspa. The difference between this site and most of the other finacial literacy sites I've come across is that this one really tries to use the community as a source of knowledge. For better or for worse. this idea falls along the lines of wikipedia and I was really eager to check out how sophisticated the conversations got or if was more of the same information that you can find anywhere on the internet.
Little did I know I would never find out. The site took far too long for my lightening speed and impulsive brain to sit and wait for. The site lost my appeal before I could even look at much of it. I suppose I'll give it another go but for now it's rated an overall thumbs down.
I leave you all with the link in hopes that you'll have better luck and find it useful to you. Seems like it really has potential.

Feels a lot like Mint's design, but just not as good. Why is the site so slow!!!
Does Mint have the community aspect to it?
Sorry to hear our site was too slow for you. We are still in beta and are working daily to increase our speed. I'll keep you posted on our progress. Let me know if I can answer any more questions about Adaptu.
