National Spending Journal – By Shoeboxed

At Shoeboxed, we offer a scanning service for receipts and business cards and online software to organize the information that we digitize.

Shoeboxed has moved! Our new offices are just a couple of blocks down the same street in downtown Durham, North Carolina. We’re excited about the move, as we have a great new colorful space in the Suntrust building, one of the tallest and most recognizable buildings in Durham. We needed to move into a more [...]

There are plenty of good reasons to save receipts, but in Taiwan, you can actually get paid cold, hard cash for saving receipts you get from retailers.

I’m going to need some cake and candles immediately. Also, a party hat would be great. Why? Not that I need a reason, but Shoeboxed is celebrating its first birthday today!
We’ve been working on this idea since 2006, but we finally launched our original open beta version of Shoeboxed one year ago today.
Thanks to everyone [...]

We’re happy to see so many people take advantage of this thing we’ve put together. All you new members: you can expect a little something extra in the mail from yours truly this week. Just [...]

Shoeboxed has returned to its roots, at least for a couple of days.
Taylor and Tobi had some meetings in Frankfurt this week, and were able to snap some shots of their trip. I’m their lackey today back in Durham, just forwarding along their adventures. When you’re in Frankfurt, you don’t have time to blog.

I just wanted to welcome two people to the Shoeboxed team. Nothing really counts until you blog about it, and I felt like we should at least talk about them. And now, without further adieu, I introduce Radu Rosu and Tobi Walter.

Well, we’ve never been shy about our obsession with Duke University. Most of us are Duke graduates, and some of us are current students there. So it made a lot of sense that when we wanted to get some photos taken of the team that we turned to Duke students. I mean, it was without [...]

First of all, I just wanted to say Happy New Year, as this is our first entry of 2008!
In the first few days of this year, lots of people in the U.S. will be focusing their attention to Iowa, watching with great interest what will happen in Thursday’s caucuses. But today, I’m thinking more about [...]
