Whatbills on the News!

This morning WNYW in New York city (a local Fox news affiliate) featured Whatbills in a story about reminder web sites.  Thank you guys for the plug.  This is very exciting that our service would be featured on the local news in such a big city.   

Although we have not seen the segment if any of you have Tivo’d it or have a way to get it over to us, let us know!

As an update to this post here is the link on the TV channels web site with a mention of Whatbills.

Service is Relaunched for Free

We have relaunched the service for free. Originally we launched in July, 1 2006 as a subscription based service. We are now providing the base service absolutely free. You will be able to keep track of your bills, receive reminders and record your payment history for free. The reason we have made the product free is we are rolling out some big things in the coming months and want to grow the Whatbills community as quickly as possible. Down the road we plan on launching some additional features on a subscription basis. However we would like to keep the base product free.

With the announcement of our free version several enhancements have been made to the system:

• E-mail reminders are summarized so you will only receive one notification per day.
• The look and feel of the application has been modified to make it a little easier to use and accommodate for our future changes.
• You can now maintain a payment history of all your bills. Whenever you mark a bill paid you can enter some additional information for your bill to help you keep a better record should you ever need to look up information on the payment.
• Several minor bugs have been fixed.

Also as you can see we have launched this blog to keep you up to date on whats going on over here. As always your comments and suggestions are welcome. To signup for the free service visit our signup page.
