In regards to the "copying Facebook," I just thought it was a good title ;) Best, Nick Hi Dan,

I agree that this is great for web based receipts but for tracking my offline purchases I’ll have to scan al my receipts.

In regards to the “copying Facebook,” I just thought it was a good title ;)

Best,
Nick

One day when I pay for something using a card maybe they will send a copy of the receipt to my online account. That is where Shoebox type applicaitons can help. I have not checked them out but I agree that this is a concept that has value. I am going to join provided they are free :) The best user experience for me would be the first steps of converting the receipt to a scan.

If your main concern is actually being able to get receipts into your accont, never fear. When you registered, you got a new "shoeboxed.com" e-mail address that you should use when you shop online. That way, everytime you buy something online, the receipt will come to Shoeboxed and automatically be organized with the rest of your purchases. And you don't HAVE to share your stuff. You have complete control over your privacy. And sure you can think we copied fbook, but those features have obviously been in the works since long before fbook launched beacon. I mean, we're not THAT fast at programming! We also already have a fbook app that's better than beacon since it works with all stores, not just affiliates. Dan Thanks for the write-up!
