Louis' Really Useful Finds

I spend a lot of time on the Internet - some would say too much time. Occasionally I find something that I find seriously useful and want to share with my friends, family and contacts. So this a place to post only the very best and most useful things I find on the Web. Enjoy!

Have you ever tried to collect money from friends or family, say to buy a gift for a friend you all have in common, or as repayment for payments you made on their behalf? It can often be awkward or at best an inconvenience.

Enter ChipIn - the easy way to collect money. You tell ChipIn how much you want to raise, why you want it and when you need it by. If you have a website (or I guess a profile on a social networking site like Facebook) ChipIn gives you a widget like the one below to place there. If you don’t have one, ChipIn will give you a unique web address for your widget.

You can then send the link for your ChipIn widget to your friends or family members so that they can make easy payments towards your stated goal. Useful!
