A while back I blogged about Billeo, and was impressed. At that time, I went off on a bit of a tangent, but I remain of the view that someone independent such as Billeo, with the right smarts, can carve off a capability that Banks cannot, because of their single Bank proprietary view.
Note they have a online shopping assistant and a password assistant, as part of their feature set now. This is beginning to look more and more like an electronic wallet … one to watch.

Colin,
I justed checked website visit stats on quantcast.com for Billeo, and according to that site Billeo has only 43 thousand unique website hits per month. That is very light traffic for a national bill pay website, and reinforces my sense that people are not coming to the service in significant numbers.
