    A friend of mine had a great idea, lets find out how people really spent their Economic stimulus refund checks, so I helped him setup this little website:

    http://www.howispentmystimulus.com/

    How are you guys spending the refund?

    Also, any tips on how to promote a site like this would be greatly appreciated...

    Send it to iReport on CNN.com... they are doing a series of people talking about the stimulus checks

    Damnit, you always have such brilliantly simple ideas that are quick to implement and seem to generate a ton of interest in a very short amount of time.

    I wish I could come up with quick, fun things like this. I'd be rich by now.

    Very nicely done...I as well wish I could come up with a nice site like that that would take off and get some great exposure. Best of luck with it.

    Thanks guys.

    This one wasn't my idea, just a quick build (started Wednesday).

    First site I built with the CakePHP framework, I like it :)

    Same here. Apparently if you had tax filing fees deducted or owed money (even if you paid electronically), you're getting a friggin' check.

    That's really lame. My stimulus has come and gone already.

    I haven't got my check yet, but I got a letter telling me I'd be getting it next week ... great use of the money!

    New York Magazine is running an article about the website in the next issue (haven't seen it on news stands yet) available online:
