Add your photos, choose from a great library of music and Animoto automatically creates a video with unique effects (each video is different) for you. You can post to your blog, to Facebook to YouTube, etc… with ease. Here are a couple of examples done from Stahle Team listings:

You can use it to easily keep track of your expenses even when you are on the run. Send your expenses via Email, iPhone, SMS, Voice, Twitter, IM, and more- you can even attach a photo of your receipt. Then, you can view your expenses in a report online and tage them according to any category you want. It’s a sweet little program!
