I recently came across the Wakoopa website. For those who have yet to hear about it, Wakoopa is a social networking site for software. Their software is tracked for how much time they use by a small client application that sits in the notification area of the toolbar. Unfortunately, this client software is only available for Windows and Mac OS X for the time being.

It seems to me that whenever a company promises a Linux version of a program, it can take months or even years to actually get that said product out. However, I would like to start using something like Wakoopa now on my Linux boxes. I don't necessarily need the social features, even a small tool to track the usage of programs as I use them to just get an idea of where I spend by time would be useful. I already have the Timetracker extension to see how much I use Firefox, but I'd like to get a feel for other applications as well. For instance, I am using OpenOffice.org Writer right now to write this article, but I do I really use it that much? And how long do I spend using e-mail and that sort of thing in Kontact? I feel it would be all around interesting.

I have yet to find a comparable program on Linux to Wakoopa. I was simply wondering if anyone had any suggestions at the moment. I've already asked around IRC to no avail. Anyway, thanks in advance if any readers know!
