When the bill is paid, you can simply remove it by clicking a link in the email or you can reschedule it for next month or next year by simply clicking another link in the email.

You can keep a track of your credit card bills, mobile and other utilities bills, insurance premium, loan EMI, rent, interest, subscription expiry, prescription refill, birthdays, anniversaries and almost any other important date on Is Due On.Is Due On is different from other generalized all purpose task manager/to do list tools in the way that it is meant for one specific type of task - paying the bills.

Just bills and nothing else and to top it all, it’s freakin’ simple! So simple even your grandma can use it!

You pay for this advertising with Entrecard Credits, that you earn for free by networking (a.k.a. visiting blogs and dropping your card for other bloggers).

This is the next level of the plain old link exchange. The basic principal is same - you advertise my blog, I advertise yours - but the way of implementing this is interesting.

When you join EntreCard you get something called as an EntreCard which they call is like your business card and a widget to put on your own blog. When you visit other blogs on the EntreCard network, you can drop your card on the widget over there. By doing so you earn EntreCard credits which you can use to display your ads on the widgets on others’ blogs. You also earn credits by displaying ads of other blogs on the widget placed on your own blog. The twist in the tale is that unlike a typical link exchange network you don’t have to display a widget on your blog to earn credits to display your ads. You can earn credits by simply visiting other blogs on the network and dropping your card. When you drop a card on some one’s blog they get to see it in their inbox on EntreCard.

The credits you earn for displaying ads on your widget are directly proportionate to the number of ads you display. So if you have more traffic on your blog you display more ads and you earn more credits which in turn allows you display more of your ads on others’ widgets. If you don’t display widget, you don’t display ads, you earn less credits, you can show less ads! Simple as that!

If you have a blog and no money to advertise. Try this. This might earn you some visitors.

If you don’t know what a mind map is check out this Wikipedia entry about Mind maps. Basically a mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

Users can create, manage and share mind maps online and access them anytime, from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, fellow MindMeisters from around the world (or just in different rooms) can simultaneously work on the same mind map - and see each other’s changes as they happen. Using integrated Skype calls, they can throw around new ideas and put them down on “paper” at the same time.

What to watch?
The brainstorming mode is what makes this application interesting. When two or more users open the same mind map at the same time you are in brainstorming mode. Every change you make - be it adding new ideas, deleting existing ones, or rearranging them within the branches - will be replicated instantly to your fellow editors’ screens via the MindMeister server. Through colour-coded effects they will see what you did and vice versa, no reload necessary. And, if you need to talk to them directly, just click on their name in the footer and start a Skype conference call. Real time brainstorming!

 Downside of this approach is that if you want to share the file with multiple people, you will have to upload the file multiple times. Once for each person. And in case the connectivity breaks at either end during a transfer, you will have to start all over again.

What to watch?
This could be useful in case you want to transfer a large file only once and don;t want the file to remain on someone else’s servers after it has been transferred.
