BudgetPulse will be receiving a facelift to the entire site that will be leaving everyone who views it, talking about it with everyone they know. We felt it was time for BudgetPulse to receive the necessary cosmetic updates that will help give it a more sleek and professional look to the money management tool. The new design is created to help everyone navigate throughout the site in an easier manner to help avoid any confusion which will help to save time. The new elegant design will feature enhanced budgeting tools as well.
BudgetPulse has hired D.C. based company nclud, to redesign the money tracking website. Nclud is a creative web design agency that is exceptional at creating strategy and design solutions for the web. They recently worked with Mixx.com which is a powerful new customizable social media website, and the results look amazing.
The online money management tool has more exciting news coming this way regarding the new redesign. As soon as pictures are available, you will be the first to check them out.

Although it has been quiet for some time, that certainly does not mean that we haven’t been incredibly busy in trying to improve BudgetPulse for everyone. We have a lot of new ideas and design tweaks originated from all the great feedback we’ve been receiving from our BudgetPulse users…You!
Going through the feedback has brought to our attention on many new features that we would like to add to BudgetPulse to create a stronger personal budgeting tool. Two issues were the lack to set up recurring expenses, and not being able to split transactions.
Well no more! Our next release of BudgetPulse will include these two new very important features.
- Recurring Expenses - You now will have the option to recur an expense on a weekly, monthly, or annually basis. Choose your start and end dates for the expense and it will automatically update based on your given time frame. This way you don’t have to re-enter the information each time, saving you time.
- Split Transactions - You now will have the option to split transactions allowing you to track them in greater detail to keep them in a more organized manner.
By adding these features, we are trying to help eliminate the time you need to spend navigating through the site to make entering data as easy and organized as possible. We don’t want you to waste unnecessary time when you would much rather be doing something a little bit more fun than worrying about budgeting.
Stay tuned for the exact dates of the release and when they will take effect, and more great additions coming your way.

SocialDevCamp East held on 10th May at University of Baltimore, has been a great experience, it was bursting with energy and gave an excellent opportunity for all of its 150 participants to interact , which was very educational, zealous and stimulating . The encouraging part of the whole show was we had people coming in from far of ways as NY, Philadelphia , Boston and DC…. It gave a great incite to innovative commendable works of various participants.
The day started with getting to know each other, it was a flood of likeminded community coming together to share and lean by mutual attendance and discussing the works and trends in web technologies. Then anonymously based on the interest and requirement of the day we zeroed on few sessions which were interesting and interactive with all sharing their ideas and experiences. The topics discussed ranged a vast area of interest like Building a Social Hub – Integration of Social Networks, The Semantic Web, iPhone Applications and its Development, Location or Geo Based Applications.
The mid of the day we had lunch which was very elaborate and best part of the lunch was that it gave all participants a great opportunity to socially interact and get to know more on the works each other . The lunch session was again followed by interesting sessions like Behavior Development with Rails, Data Portability and The Amtrak Corridor Start-up Business. At the end of the day we all ended having a blast of the time at Brewer’s Art with beer flowing and great snacks moving around we had motivating, interesting, casual and relaxed conversations going on for next few hours which seemed to have passed on very fast
I’m sure to miss other folks, but I wanted to give a shout out to some people that I enjoyed meeting for the first time. I’ve known about Ann Bernard of whygosolo.com for a long time, but never got a chance to interact - great entrepreneur. David Troy and I have talked in email, so it was great to put a face to the name . It was a pleasure to hang out with Nick O’Neill of socialtimes.com. I’d seen Mike Subelsky before, but I never realized he is a big hacker. Also enjoyed talking with Shawn Busteed about his www.evdeliv.com. Jimmy Gardner from mydropbin.com gave me some great tips about Amazon S3. Got very little time to talk Jared Goralnick of awayfind.com, would love to catchup on him again. Also got blessing from Social Network Swami (Title of Shashi Bellamkonda). Spent time with Robert Neelbauer and Juliana Neelbauer of jobmatchbox.com. Great team to use our hiring needs.
On the whole SocialDevCamp East was a great place to be in and an reminding that east coast may not have the silicon valley here but they have great resources and energy to make one in very near future its very own silicon community.

If your financial institution provides these exports, you can export the data in .QIF or .QFX file and can import them into BudgetPulse. Its totally safe , here have no worries about your personal info, because the import wizard only imports your transactions and no other personal banking info such as password or login.

We have the SocialDevCamp East coming up at Baltimore on Feb 10th. It is organized by David Troy of Roundhouse Technologies, LLC Ann Bernard and Keith Casey of WhyGo Solo.com. According to Dave Troy, “Part of what we’re doing here with SocialDevCamp East is telling a story: a story about how there is latent intellectual capital and talent here on the East coast that wants to emerge, evolve and change the world. It’s the story of a new kind of Silicon Valley happening here - an Amtrak metropolis from DC to Boston rich with talent, schools, and industries that will shape much of the future of technology.” For more info, Please visit http://barcamp.pbwiki.com/SocialDevCampEast

To introduce myself, I’m Raj, one of the founders. It’s been a crazy month, with all the attention and traffic coming on our way with really no great promotions efforts from our side. We have had a tons of fun and our website has been really going places — especially when things like having our website featured on TV happened. That’s right — Fox News Houston did a story on budgetpulse.com during their evening newscast. While none of us personally made an appearance, budgetpulse.com was on in a big way. Please check our home page for the news clip.
What else? … As per our users’ request, we are working on features to import the data from Money and Quicken data file formats. Our next release will include QIF, OFX and QFX data imports. We are planning to release these features on 3rd May. Again thanks for your feedback and support.
