I’ve been using Rachota religiously since 2007. Perfect for someone who works on multiple requests throughout the day, constantly jumping between them (due to walk-ups, instant messages, phone calls).

I only use half the flavor pouch…i don’t know how much this affects the calorie count but it makes me feel better about myself.

I find this trend in websites very disturbing: I can’t create an account and use your service unless I give you access to all of my Facebook data–does anyone else see a problem with this? In many respects isn’t this like granting a website access to your email account?

On my Android phone I like geotagging all my photos, but I’d like a photo sharing service that strips this out. More than once I’ve forgotten to turn off GPS before taking a picture at my house, posted it to Twitpic or yfrog and shared my address with world.

Up until maybe 2006 I used Outlook, downloading emails from all my email accounts in one .PST file–then I made the switch to Gmail. I wanted to keep all my emails in one place so, using Outlook and IMAP, I uploaded all my old emails to my new Gmail account. I seem to recall the process halting a couple of times due to usage limits–Google gave me a 24 hour cool-down before I could start uploading again. I don’t know if Gmail still has this, but it might be worth mentioning to readers.

This looks similar to ManicTime. Anyone have experience with both and prefer one over the other?
