Have you ever been to a restaurant and discovered that you left your wallet at home? In such situations, your friends are the best ones to help. Venmo is a web tool that facilitates money between friends.

Venmo is a web service with a wonderful concept behind: it lets friends SMS text money transfer each other. Here is how it works: you create an account on the Venmo website; next you select your smartphone type such as iPhone or BlackBerry; then you link your bank account or credit card to your Venmo account.

After all that is done, you can connect your friends' Venmo accounts to your own and then pay or charge your friends. Your account history is given a "˜social' touch by making it visible in a payment stream; this way your friends can view to whom you have paying or charging and for what.
