Both Droplr and CloudApp are fantastic services that offer features like URL shortening and file uploading to their users. Both these services originated as a simple Mac app that sits in the menubar, always ready for whatever command the user gives.

That coffee you had last evening, that gadget your bought yourself or as a gift, or even your electricity/internet bill all come with a printed receipt.
