Organize Your Expenses From Anywhere – Instantly

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

A small plug for my brothers new business – JustTheBill.com – which I think fits the bill perfectly for the on the move real estate agent. From JustTheBill.com:

“JustTheBill is the easiest way to manage your expenses on-the-go. To enter an expense, you can just snap a photo of the receipt with your camera phone and JustTheBill App and it will be stored for your bookkeeper.

For bookkeepers, JustTheBill is even more convenient. Instead of sorting through a drawer full of receipts at the end of the month, every transaction is neatly organized in our online dashboard. Once expenses have been approved, they can be exported to your choice of accounting software.”

Take a moment and check it out – let me know what you think!!

“And Now For Facebook’s Next Trick: Video”

Monday, June 7th, 2010

TechCrunch.com’s Robin Wauters wrote an article today about Facebook’s growth in the video department. As our blog readers know, Ubertor is very much focused on online video. Not only helping our agents create video, but making it easy to upload, syndicate and store it. With much more coming!
