Did a google search for time trackers such as these and found this post. Installing RescueTime right now. How many of us are internet addicts but aren’t willing to admit it?

I’m “surfing the web” at 5am. It’s quite appropriate that I’d run into this article. Installing RescueTime now! May look into K9.

It’s too bad probably no-one will read my comment. I haven’t tried these apps, but I’m going to. I’ve been using a much more heavy-duty solution, and it’s crushed all my internet addictions like a tank driving over papier mache toys. It’s K9 web protection. It’s free for personal use. I give the password to my buddy and I have to ask him to email it to me if I need to change anything. It’s been so great.

Looks as if I am the only commenter using 8aweek. It’s a nice extension and you waste almost no time to install it. It has some nice features and the authors are responsive to comments. As for me “it’s doing the job”

I used before Google Web History. It is inferior to 8aweek and you should be logged in to Google in order to track what / where you are surfing.

You may read the article in TechCrunch about 8aweek

I use RescueTime and never looked back again. Simple, install and forget tool. Kudos to their dev team.

You might look at “Wakoopa”(.com), which is a rather simple usage pattern tracking tool installed locally but displayed online. Also possible to integrate into your lifestream.

Hmm, these look very cool. I keep meaning to check these out, but I’m so busy surfing net.

Oh, and I like to call it “researching” on the internet, not so much “wasting time.”

Nice tools, seems kinda counter productive though.

Ah! Big Brother Internet! Stay Away!

Good for kids but I actually promote Internet use… it’s when you start blocking and stifling that your employees work harder working the angles than they do actual work… thus defeating the purpose. You end up creating a cattle in a cubicle. Which is fine if you like CSR agents that do just “canned” lines all day long.

So I guess I’ll reciprocate with another article you might enjoy.
