What it does

TrackMyPeople is a free program for Windows and Linux that allows managers to easily track their time and their employees’ time. It helps managers and other administrators to compare totals, project time, and employees’ attendance. The program is web-based and therefore accessible from anywhere, and password-protection and automatic backups keep the data collected secure. A manager can easily track their employees’ time spent on a project or just analyze a graph for optimization. You can even install a personal widget on each users desktop, for inputting time data directly. The graphs produced by TrackMyPeople are visually attractive and present a large amount of data in a concise, intuitive format, and are quite customizable.

In their own words

"TrackMyPeople allows you to easily track your time, as well as your employees time, from multiple locations. At the same time offering flexible management and reporting possibilities."

Why it might be a killer

Since this tool is web-based, managers can access it from anywhere, which could be very helpful for companies with multiple offices or managers who work from home, travel a lot, or for whatever other reason are not always at their desk.

Some questions

Since this program is free, how does the site plan to make a profit? Will a Macintosh-compatible version be released?

What it does

There are plenty of website analytics programs out there, but Sometrics.com is the first site to offer analytics focused on social networking platforms such as Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo. With Sometics, developers can better understand their social media and translate that to increased numbers, by accessing information on millions of daily users. You can see daily statistics or even access the information compiled for a specific hour of a specific day. Sometics tracks information like: page views and unique visits, installs and uninstalls, age, gender, number of friends, and location. You can view your social network’s analytics with pie charts, maps, calendars, or on an Excel spreadsheet.

In their own words

"Sometrics is the first analytics company to focus on social networking platforms. The company's analytics platform provides detailed insights to help developers better understand and monetize their social media."

Why it might be a killer

Sometrics claims that some of their beta testers have reported 200% growth in traffic. It’s a free tool and provides a lot of data that social network developers could find really useful as they seek to increase usership and profits. The multiple ways of viewing your data (aggregate or daily; in charts, graphs, or a spreadsheet, etc.) make it even more useful.

Some questions

What sort of premium services might Sometrics add in the future? (Their site mentions the possible addition of such premium services, which would cost money.) Until the addition of any paid premium services, how will this site make a profit?

What it does

A refreshing new tarot site that offers live and amazingly authentic tarot readings that have been linked to relevant spell recommendations, completely free, and no membership is required. Save, view trends, make notes and share readings with friends. This seems to be a completely social divination experience. SpellSpace was developed with intent to offer a real live and authentic tarot reading, and amazingly sound and powerful recommended spells. This is the only site on the Web which offers a Tarot Reading that has been linked to relevant spell recommendations, designed to enhance your life. Much research was done into the development of these Spells, they use known and authentic ingredients, elements and spirits, which have been used from ancient Egypt, to Pagan, Jewish and other traditions.

In their own words

“An experienced and excellent Tarot Reader, who has had compelling and accurate historical results, created these readings. Working with a technical programmer, together they duplicated the process, karma, strength and feel of a real reading. The Tarot Reader is in essence providing the reading directly to you, it is her words, interpretation and aura, which surround this site. Many other sites use gimmicks that ask a person to chose their cards, then either ask a question or select a card. Then a computer uses formulas to display a card and the description and written information referenced. This is a complete disconnect with a Tarot Reader or the cards.”

Why it might be a killer

A completely different site on a very popular topic, SpellSpace Tarot provides a place for users to get complete readings to share, save, rate, annotate and view trends, and completely free. Spells are recommended based on personal readings that can be purchased at the online SpellStore. The tarot room feature will provide a social networking element that is not offered anyplace on the web. View readings with others or privately while chatting with friends, strangers or psychics. Psychic reader connections will be provided for those who wish to explore further.

Some questions

Maybe they are exaggerating with the amount of Google Ads, they take seriousness from the website.

Some questions

Is Moblf the way to go? Is it really useful to those who aren’t feed addicts? Will they go beyond SMS and develop a full mobile app?
