Change is in the air!
November 5th, 2008
First of all, I’d like to thank all of you who have tried the Tweetwhatyouspend service. Hopefully you’ve found the tool to be valuable. Many of you have written in expressing your excitement about the service, and have offered suggestions for improvements. For all of you who have taken the time to write in, a special thanks to you! I hear you, and appreciate your feedback. By now I’ve responded to each of you, and I’m ready to share the pipeline of new features with all TWYS users so you know what to expect from the service in the coming weeks.
You have probably noticed that in the two weeks since Tweetwhatyouspend went live that we’ve made small improvements along the way. We’ve added a new registration and login component to the homepage, full support for international currencies, and a news section which you’re reading now. These changes, while small, were necessary to pave the way for some big things to come.
Here are the highlights of new features to come on Tweetwhatyouspend:
Monthly and weekly Cash Journal views - view Cash Journal entries and category spending charts by month or week
Create your own categories - add and edit your spending categories
Tags - tag entries adding another level of granularity to your cash tracking
Spending alarm - set a daily/weekly spending alarm and receive an SMS alert when you approach your spending limit
Joint accounts - link up more then one account to share entries
In addition, there will be a number of small surprises (and bug fixes) that will be regularly released. Thank you for your support and I look forward to your comments below!

November 6th, 2008 at 06:32 PM I am so glad you're adding custom categories! That is going to make this tool absolutely PERFECT for me. Well, almost perfect... any chance of adding a 2nd twitter user to an account so I can get the hubby using it too? ;)
November 6th, 2008 at 06:40 PM Hi Kim, I added multiple Twitter accounts to the list as per your suggestion. Thanks for reminding me about this valuable feature! It has been in the product pipeline since before we launched the service and is something that I'm personally looking forward to using with my family as well.
November 6th, 2008 at 06:48 PM yay! I like all of the things in the pipeline.
November 6th, 2008 at 06:52 PM Wow, you guys are great listeners. I hadn't thought of "spending alarms" but cool idea. Who are you guys, BTW? An "about" page would be great, and I'm sure many of us would like to follow you as individuals on Twitter too. (I think you saw this in my email, and you're probably already thinking about it, but will repeat here since it's not on your short-term list...) Despite your name, you have an opportunity to expand beyond being a Twitter-only service. It would be great to be able to enter data via IM, other socnets, etc. -- @MicahElliott
November 7th, 2008 at 06:17 PM Hi Micah, thanks for the feedback, we'll be adding an About Us page soon - great suggestion. In the meantime, if you want to follow me on Twitter, my handle is @aressidi. I'll be posting more news about Tweetwhatyouspend in the near future which should answer your question about who's behind Tweetwhatyouspend.
