We're starting something new at Download Squad: guest bloggers. This week, we're proud to welcome Saul Colt to the Download Squad family.

We meet a lot of interesting people in the course of running Download Squad; Developers, designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, executives. Thinkers. Far and away the best part of this job are the connections made and ideas shared with people on the bleeding edge of the web and software. Too often, we only get to share a tiny slice of those conversations and off-topic bits. Starting today we're ...

Used to be desktop applications were essential to getting the job done, whatever the job may have been, large or small.

Oh day three, where the point values are doubled and the hangover is permanent. If you decided to skip SXSWi this year, joining the hip kids who claimed it was "too commercial" and "too over-hyped", shame on you. The only thing too commercial were the panels and, frankly, no one goes to those anyway. So far today we've caught up with the guys from Bloxes, which although not a tech product is ...

FreshBooks rolled out their API yesterday, a little early it seems as they were outed by TechCrunch.

FreshBooks is already pretty packed with features like creating, sending (via mail or email) and managing invoices, tracking time on projects, accepting payments and even sending late notices, ...

The whole goal behind Less Accounting is to make book keeping as simple and easy as possible. The team behind Less Accounting, Less Everything, believes that users will never again use Quickbooks. In fact, they're so bullish, they see ...
