Shoeboxed

I read about Shoeboxed today on Lifehacker, and have been trying it out. Up until this point, I really do keep physical receipts in a shoebox or binder (and probably still will) and have been tagging e-mailed receipts as such in Gmail, and then archiving them. That was all fine and dandy, but it’s nice to have something that’s built just for that. I took all my old Gmail-stored receipts from such various places as Basegear.com and Potion Factory, and it recognized them as receipts without a hitch and found the right amount in the e-mail. Well-done Shoeboxed.

It reminds me of a service called KeyFiler which lets you store your registration keys for software, etc. in a safe, secure and accessible place.
