Beam do money enables communication with advice on the New Restaurant, New York Times)

Beam launched earlier this year as a site where users can compare their habits of costs for people like them. Finance personal popular site Mint.com has recently published a similar product, MintData, but data from 4 million users of the site. Bundle does not have any where near as many users, but he says he gave Citibank and other service providers, financial means that indeed, it has 20 million user data.

However, massive data sets really what you are looking for a site of finance? If initial height seems a little fuzzy, package launches some new features today which are worth more obvious - starting with the restaurant Advisor that I mentioned above.

Instead of basing its ratings on the voice of the user and reviews, recommendation examines where people actually eat and how much they spend actually. The idea is that you can give a five-star review and go to the restaurant once, but you reveal your real preferences when you go to the restaurant again and again, and you spend lot of money.

The recommendation may tell you which restaurants in your area based on the loyalty of most of the other in your income level. And it can tell you what the average spending in restaurants is really only.

On the downside, Advisor of the restaurant is only available in Los Angeles and New York for the moment, although Chief Executive Jaidev Shergill says that Bundle will add a third city in 30 to 45 days.

Movement-O-Matic, meanwhile, help you to understand the financial impact of the changeover to a new town. You can enter the city or postal code everywhere where you think move, and then based on your income, the site tells you how much you're likely to spend on rent, food and more.

Bundle is supported by the Citi, Microsoft, and Morningstar.
