Tax time brings a new mini-project
Back in early December at a Portland Web Innovators meeting, Ryan and I talked about finding a connection between his net worth tracking site and my income tax filing site.
What we came up with was a little head-to-head tool that lets people drill down to determine the best use for their tax refund, assuming they’ll be getting one. We casually built it, spending a few minutes here and there on evenings and weekends. Ryan and I were completely virtual. I haven’t seen him since December, because he’s way off in the suburbs, a whole seventeen miles away.
Today, we release the project to find out what you think. What’s the best use for your income tax refund? Find out here.
Here’s mine (I’m wild!):
Very cool. Predictably, I landed on “Pay off credit card” as well!
I landed on “Las Vegas Weekend with Sexy Escort”.
How do I claim my prize?
Do I get an income tax refund….
Perfect. I love this. Adam, apps like these are why I’m glad you’re on the web.
Thanks guys. Jon, you’re sweet!
[…] He goes on to give some great examples, my favorite of which is breaking the back button. In fact, I’m realizing now that we did just that with the refund project and I’m wondering whether we really had much of a choice. […]
The tools are cool. I also think that it is cool you’ve been able to do this collaboration virtually.
I went for a used car, which scored 45% of the time. Realistically though it will probably go to pay off the credit card as predicted.
