Expenses can have a lot of the same issues as Timesheets (see post on JourneyX) and often companies who require timesheet software will require expense software.
Currently a company getting good press is webexpenses who also have links to Sage Accounting Software. Another Expense software SaaS company is Concur.
Timesheets are one the most requested pieces of functionality when dealing with accounting software. In many service companies and professional firms they can be one of the biggest headaches. Standard software pricing can often be prohibitive for large timesheet users especially where each timesheet user is named or requires a full access concurrent license.
Many companies use MS Excel or design their own database with tools like MS Access. These solutions can often create their own set of problems including support and remote access. No wonder then that this application should be available as a service.
As well as being one of the few Timesheet applications that can be used under the SaaS model you can also download JourneyX for both Windows and Linux for upto 10 users.

I downloaded Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) today and after the usual Microsoft install it crashed within 5 minutes (but then I suppose it is beta). In that short time I could see that it had all my Firefox favourite features of multi-tabbed browsing, multiple search engines etc. So I immediately went back to using Firefox.
The biggest problem I see for Firefox is not that people will go back to IE (not enough exciting features) but that it will stop the steady flow of people leaving IE. Firefox raised the bar and will have to do so again with version 2 if it is to keep the momentum going.
For those interested the 2nd Beta version of IE7 is available here. And there are plenty of screenshots on Flickr.
For those who do not mind the odd crash in exchange for cutting edge features Flock is well worth a look. Although this is not even in beta yet but is a developer preview.
