Web 2.0 Apps

As mentioned in a previous post, we like to use technology to help us get things done better and faster. If you keep up with current web trends then you already know that web applications are popping up everywhere. These applications range anywhere from managing money to streaming media. An application that caught our attention from the beginning and has helped us tremendously is TrackMyShipments.com

TrackMyShipments.com is a free online service that lets you do exactly what its name says. They have provided an innovative solution to a big problem. Problem: As a company or individual, you have many items being shipped on a weekly basis. Each company you buy from may use a different shipper (UPS, USPS, Fedex, etc) Now you are left with multiple tracking codes for multiple shippers, which means having to visit multiple websites to track your shipments. Solution: A website where an individual or company can track all shipments.

The process is very easy. Every time you get an email from the company you purchased from confirming that your order has been shipped, simply forward the email to the TrackMyShipments.com email address. Within a few minutes, tracking information is displayed in your TrackMyShipments.com account. This is a great service, but what makes it even better is the fact that it is completely free.
