Here’s an image that shows the tag cloud for Allstate at del.icio.us. It’s interesting to me that “bills” is one of the top tags. As a del.icio.us user myself, I hadn’t thought about creating one tag for all of the bills I pay each month and then using that page to click to each of the sites as I pay bills, but that is quite the productivity hack. Hmm…do I care if someone knows what companies I pay each month?
What is the top hit for “bills” at del.icio.us?
Billshare – a free application for people who need to split bills and keep a record of it. If I had a roommate and needed to track expenses, it might be the perfect app.
The #2 hit — billQ also looks like a cool web-based app to keep track of your bills. I really like the reminder feature that users can set-up to send to their cell phone or email.

You could tag your bills and have them marked as “private” entries so that only you (and the del.icio.us company) can see them, and no one else. That’s actually a good idea. I might start doing that as well.

I didn’t realize there was a private feature. That’s a good idea. Then I could even add notes such as due dates and how much I want to pay, or even call the category “monthly” so that I could also add in savings goals….well, it might be better to just set up an automatic withdrawal from my checking account for that. Thanks!
