The weekend has brought us some truly cool startups – with some original concepts, too!

The pick of the bunch has to be Expensify – an incredible idea that actually imports your credit card transactions from your account and compiles them together as a complete IRS-friendly expense report. And before you start screaming “YOU’RE GOING INTO MY CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”, this is a PCI compliant app (that’s bank level financial compliance if you didn’t know).

We’ve also got some solid, if not mind bendingly original applications from TeemingPod and InstantCal, allowing you to add interactive components to your website: polls and calendars respectively.

KiiRaa is great looking and has definite allusions of being the ‘next big thing’ by aggregating the best sites on the net (as recommended by its users). You can also win an iPod. (remember, you heard it hear first).

The last app I wanted to throw a shout out to is Balsamiq, a very cool software mockup tool for all of you developers out there. They’ve managed to frakenstein together a very functional package with a hand-drawn cartoon-like UI that just shouts “play with me! Play with me!”

Check out the screenshots, with links below.

I’m exporing a different format today and moving away from the ‘launchpad’ page. From now on, the day’s hot startups will be listed as posts ready for easy digestion.

Today’s startups are a bit of a mixed bag (as always), but there’s some great developments that have just hit the dub-dub-dub. Standing out today was the beautiful looking – and quite overwhelming – almost.at which is a constantly updating stream of content parsed from Twitter, blogs, websites, Flickr and Youtube (and more) relating to a particular event: today’s events included Obama’s speech in Cairo, the anniversary of Tianenmen Square… you get the idea.

From today’s obligatory new Twitter applications we are given Twubs which aggregates hashtag tweets together and Twaitter, allowing you to schedule a tweet to happen in the future. More than the actual development, I pity the unenviable job that Twitter app creative minds have in naming their application. Surely every possible word in the english dictionary starting with T&W has already been used up.

Entering into the search engine foray is the slick DeeperWeb.com which does a great job taking the Google search platform and adding to it tag clouds, entries from Wikipedia, blog entries and the like. A standard Firefox addon will make it easier to remember to use DeeperWeb once the new greatest-search-engine-ever graces our screens (due next Monday, Thursday and two new releases scheduled for a week from Sunday).
