Zecco has lost it’s appeal. The biggest appeal of Zecco was the 40 free trades per month (later reduced to 10). The signup process was kludgy. In fact the whole website has a early 2000 feel to it. It tried to be a “social network” for investing, but is missing the slickness. It’s missing decent inferencing. The social aspect is basically reduced to show me yours and I’ll show you mine with a forum attached.
I was really hoping they would achieve more. But driving off all the non-technical users with the pain in the ass interface and poor response time (except for my last post about them. I guess they’re quick to save face) leaves only the people willing to put up with crap because it’s cheap. Well, that’s gone too. Unless you have $25K in assets in Zecco. I don’t. It’s always been a play account for me.
No iPhone interface, no iPhone app. No general mobile interface. Where is the 2.0 experience they kept bragging about? Slick interface? Nope. Mobile interface? Nope. Cross browser friendly? Nope.
Oh well. I guess they still have decent prices for realtime trades.
