RescueTime: Time monitoring for web activity, efficiency

RescueTime has raised about $1M, they give you data about your usage so you can be more efficient. They have about 100,000 users. "Y Combinator startup RescueTime lets users monitor which applications and websites they use/visit the most, and then lets them use that information to try to cut down on inefficient uses of time. It’s useful on an individual basis, and it helps businesses (who pay $4-$8/user/month) monitor what applications are being used, and where time is being wasted."
