A few weeks ago I signed up for Mint.com. They have a great user interface and my credit union and credit card companies were among those already supported, so setup was a cinch.
It certainly is nice to see my finances in one place, although they currently don't support investment accounts. However, Quicken and MS Money have done this for quite awhile. The real selling point is that Mint makes recommendations on ways to save money based on your accounts. It wasn't long before Mint pointed out that I could earn several hundred more dollars this year if I changed my accounts around a bit. Not bad!
Most of the folks I know will probably freak out about inputting account numbers and passwords for the various accounts into one interface. This probably won't help a bit, but here is what Mint has to say about keeping your information safe:

Anyway, if you are a current user, let me about your experience.
A couple other similar sites exist. If you are interested in checking them out as well, here they are:

I agree, a slick interface. The real kicker is it doesn't allow you to balance a checkbook etc.
Quicken now has a new version online. That would be fun to try.
I also understand that a big bank has some similar funtionality.
