    Great Post!! I have been using most of the tools you have highlighted!! But I think you missed out "Billing Boss" in your list. Its a free online invoicing tool..

    Billing Boss is an online invoicing tool which would help you with all your billing and invoicing needs. You can generate unlimited invoices and send it to unlimited customers. As it is an online tool, you can operate it wherever you got internet connection and you no need of depending on single computer. Even you can access this tool on your iPhone or Blackberry.
  • MinuteDock (http://minutedock.com) is a time tracker that plugs right into Xero, making it a pretty big contender versus the others.
  • Thanks for the suggestion. If others use Xero I bet they'll find your product helpful.

    If you wanted to 'roll in' some other web app functionality such as project management, to-dos, shared workspaces and a business website/intranet or blog for a similar price, Moobiz http://www.moobiz.com is worth checking out.
  • Thank, I hadn't heard of you guy before. Will check it out. We're a Basecamp house ourselves. What is your advantage over Basecamp?
