Bestofweblogo_2In the latest from Online Banking Report, "Personal Finance Features for Online Banking," we've awarded an OBR Best of the Web 2006 to a new Web-based bill management service. It's the third winner of the year,* and 53rd since the first recipient in 1997 (here's the list).

And the winner is, drum roll please, billQ <mybillq.com> a new Web 2.0-inspired bill manager from Seen Creative Group <weareseencreative.com>, a relatively new website-design firm based in Rochester, NY. The company was chosen for raising the bar in three areas:

  • User-interface design (click on screenshot below for closeup; see more screenshots by clicking the continuation link at the bottom of this article)
  • "Add this bill" browser-toolbar button
  • Publishing bills through RSS and iCalendar feeds
