I believe you missed a bet by not including Jwaala on the list of five most likly to succeed businesses. Jwaala is like Mint and Wesabe, only they work with banks and Credit Unions to put that functionality on the bank's web sites. My thoughts are folks already have a realtionship with a bank and know banks must be secure by law due to handling money. I believe Jwaala will be successful faster than the others.

@Don

I agree with you. Jwaala would be a the top of my list for "most likely to succeed." We didn't have any involvement in the Crunchie nomination process. -- Editor
