You make good points. This process would always be a two-way street, though. Nobody would ever be able to land a job just by having an interesting RescueTime profile. And I'd argue that, for some jobs, coming up with a way to hack this syst

Good points. Some of the thinking behind this is inspired by an old site I worked on in 2006 which let you pick tags that represented your skills. This is better because you don't have to pick, we should be able to derive them. That project

While this may have been true initially, over the years this is no longer the case. Especially as we have grown adoption of our business offering, which caters to teams inside a broad range of companies and worker types. As we went from the

I guess I'm confused why it seems Facebook wants to compete with Twitter in this regard. I don't think fb users have asked for the option to publish their information more privately, so why is it a priority? It feels more to me like fb is m

I apologize. It's been a hectic morning and I took a few things personally when I shouldn't have. I'm going to take a breather and stop commenting for a while. :)

I deleted my above comment because it was redundant to Tony's. I think you're misinterpreting. We're not badly reacting to criticism, it's just surprising seeing that the tone here has seemingly changed from being one that used to be recept

If you read the post it mentions that apps like self control are imperfect because you have to keep telling it which sites to block. RescueTime has a huge part of the internet already categorized and scored as distracting or not and lets yo

Journalism still baffles me. It seems all too regular that important details are carelessly reported incorrectly. "then house those startups for a short period of time." This is commonly misreported and so easily gotten right since everyone

I really don't think this is at all a fair or even correct statement. For one (and this should be obvious), FuckedCompany didn't report on emerging startups, just ones that were failing. Another thing is (and I feel this is pretty obvious

Yeah I'll cop to that - it is a bit sales-pitchy. We were just really surprised by those figures, though, and I wanted to share them in a useful way. Can you blame me? :)
