We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: one of the delights in producing online software is the complimentary products that get developed to work in alongside your own app to extend it’s reach and functionality.

Plendi, an expense tracking service that lets you capture receipt data on your smartphone, has just announced its new integration with FreeAgent.

Not content with looking smug in coffee shops, Mac users have the choice of a few Time Tracking widgets that integrate with FreeAgent.

PC and Linux users haven’t been so lucky. Until now! The great guys over at Aspect Webdesign have just released a free cross-platform Time Tracking widget that will let you post time from your desktop straight to your FreeAgent account.

We’ve just signed up yet another FreeAgent Evangelist (hi Jaffa!) and we’re seeing a real uptick in people applying to us to join our ranks.

We are seeing some truly significant numbers of people being introduced to FreeAgent by this method, February being a particularly record-breaking month with new personal bests in introductions, conversion rates and money paid out by us! Fantastic!

If you’re an HSBC personal account holder (and I am) you’ve maybe been frustrated at the limited options when it comes to downloading older statement data. Basically you can’t. Which can be a problem if you want to upload those old transactions into FreeAgent.

One of my favourite things about business in general – and in particular a business like FreeAgent which is always looking to push some boundaries wherever possible – is the fact that we get to meet and work with some really clever people, who have great ideas and solutions that complement and extend what we do.

Yesterday we posted a picture on Twitter of the new wall mounted TV we’ve just installed in the dev room.

Today saw the launch of mobileAgent, an iPhone client that allows you to add timeslips and mileage to your FreeAgent account when you’re on the go.

It’s probably not our core market, but we were pleased to hear that e2cargo, an online logistics app for the haulage and freight industry, now integrates with FreeAgent.

We pushed another one of our “sneak releases” live last week. It didn’t contain any new features in the app but we have now enabled Single Sign-on and Universal Navigation to FreeAgent from your Google Apps account.

You may not have noticed, but we pushed a software update last week. It’s part of a new release strategy where we’ll be updating FreeAgent more frequently, with smaller releases.

Hot on the heels of DoubleAgent comes a new expenses iPhone app for FreeAgent – Out of Pocket. While DoubleAgent was purely focused on tracking Mileage, Out of Pocket lets you add any sort of expense directly to your FreeAgent account.
