Square: Credit card reader for your smartphone

Credit card machines for small businesses can be expensive and a hassle, and often you have to enter into a contract with a company for the equipment and the service. But if you’re a small business like me, a super-easy credit card reader like Square may be just the ticket.
Square is a tiny little card reader that slips into the audio port of your Android phone, iPhone or iPad. You set up a free account, get a free reader and can start swiping cards immediately. The system is linked to your bank account, and the money transfers in the next day. They charge no setup or maintenance fees, and take just 2.75% out of every transaction. They’ll even help you calculate and keep track of sales tax.
I’ve been practicing with the reader by charging the price of my book on my husband’s credit card. He doesn’t know it yet, but he is going to have plenty of copies to give away for Christmas.

Minutes.io: Easy, shared meeting minutes
Ever have to transcribe handwritten notes from a meeting then spend half an hour sending them out to everyone? What a pain.
Minutes.io lets you quickly and easily take live notes of a meeting then distribute them to a group of people with a click of a button.
I love that they don’t make you register for the site even though you have access to the archive.
Oh, and I also love that it’s completely free.
