manilla
Couple of days back I started using manilla service on Aparna's recommendation. I have to say I'm already liking it a lot.
I feel manilla is similar to mint.com in some ways but different in others. For example, like Mint, manilla can show you the balances on your credit cards but unlike Mint, it doesn't show you all the transactions on the cards (at least for now). Moreover, manilla allows us to add our travel accounts such as Delta Skymiles, Avis, Marriot Rewards etc. giving us one dashboard showing the points on these accounts. And there is much more.
Before I start using a service of this kind I generally do a bit of research. So browsing around, I found good reviews about the company and its service. For other skeptics like me, here is what the media is saying about manilla:
The New York Times: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/28/manilla-hopes-to-organize-household-bills-and-finances/
The Wall Street Journal: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/02/28/hearst-launches-dashboard-for-the-home/
cnet News: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-20037157-36.html#ixzz1FICSucBu
More reviews and links can be found here.
It took only a few minutes for me to set it up with most of my accounts and now I have one place to go look at. Try it out if you like, its free.

Keyboard Shortcuts
I believe the more efficiently we use our keyboard, the more time we can save while using our computers.
Most of us use the basic keyboard shortcuts such as for cut, copy, paste, undo, redo etc. Windows 7 supports hundreds more. Many of them are not commonly-known. In this post, I'm sharing some of them that I have been using almost daily and think are good mouse-click-savers.
Hope you guys find some of these useful.
