PageOne: Managing your life with one website

Posted on September 22, 2008 - Filed Under Business |

My life is a real mess.

I’m curious: if you took inventory of the number of websites you visit for checking your finances, I think you’d be stupified.  Between your banks, your money market accounts, your investment accounts - I bet it’s quite a few.  For me, I have four websites to check.

Then we move onto bills.  Credit cards, water bill, electric bills, car payment, wireless . . . of course each has their own website.  Even though I put all these on auto-pilot, I still check the balances to make sure the accounts are getting paid.  For me, I have six websites to check.

Onto the fun websites.  Things like Netflix, MySpace, Amazon.com, eBay, American Airlines and the include GMail and my MobileMe account . . . how many websites is that?  This fluctuates between five and seven each month, depending on if I’m selling something on eBay.

For me, that’s seventeen websites a month I check out.  How many do you have?

Now, I have one.

Don’t ask me how but I stumbled onto PageOnce.com yesterday.  This service, free of charge, organizes all of your data into one page.  And I mean all.  Of of my financial accounts, all my bill paying accounts, and all of my fun websites are all located in one place.  Once I log in, I can quickly scan over one page and get current with all my accounts on all those various websites.

Of course, they have an iPhone application.  I ran with that one.

When I’m across the pond, I usually put all my travel expenses on one or two credit cards.  I can now pull out my iPhone and check my card balances with one click on my iPhone.  I can also with one click check the status of my flight.  It would be a real shame if my flight were cancelled while returning.  Darn it all!

My life was a real mess.

PC World, WSJ, Washington Post, Forbes - all have something to say here.
