Xpenser - track expense reports, track calories

Last night I came across a website called Xpenser.com. It’s a neat concept and can come in handy if used properly :). You can track your expense reports, personal budgets etc. The idea that I find really neat is that all you need to do is message Xpenser in format off “catgeory amount description” and Xpenser will put it in a nice format on their website. Folks at Xpenser tried to accomodate every user by coming up with all possible ways user can update this information. Users can update information via email, IM (msn, google, yahoo), phone, txt. Neat - isn’t it?

 If you are not an expense person, you can still use Xpenser.com to track “unusual things” as they may call it. Following are some ideas from their official blog.

- Tracking diet and calories. Create a report called “diet” and record what you eat. Eg. “burger 325 island’s”, where 325 is the number of calories.

- Tracking time. Eg. “contract review 0.75 client X”.

 To get more information, head out to www.Xpenser.com and here’s the link to their guided tour http://xpenser.com/docs/tour/

 Here’s what I am thinking though? Whats in for them? Although based on their privacy policy it seems that they are in for “protecting” our privacy (now, whatever that means). However, I think reports from a website like this can produce some neat stats: how much does an average individual living in Toronto, Canada spend on average on dining out?
