Hey, why not record your own video response on Youtube - and insert the url here.

I really liked the very idea of trying to understand your own time spending behaviour. I tried to do it through creating an XL table and loggin for each day but it did not carry for more than couple of days.

I'm very impressed with the products Zoho has been creating. I think they have quickly become one of the leaders for web apps.

I tried it and found it amusing to know such information. Bookmarking this site now.

CERN seems extremely interesting. I had watched a few documentaries on this project during the past few months. Just hope everything happens as predicted by the CERN Lead Scientist. 8)

@Bonnie - It only pays attention to the window/tab is in focus... So, the "viewing time" as you say.

Thanks to Robert and crew for coming to Seattle. Great bunch of folks!

I had to try this baby out, for sure. I wondered how it would handle my keeping several browser windows and applications open for different things: would it just add up all the time they were open, or would it figure out how much time I actually spent viewing the page?

It appears to be calculating the actual viewing time. That's neat.

That was a good video, Robert. Great concept and you let him talk through what it does and why I would use it. Compelling stuff.
