Looks like 66 of the 481 pages with the word RescueTime somewhere on them have my username somewhere on the page. I imagine many of those are assorted duplicate views of the same comment and many more are threads where one person mentioned RT and I responded.

Feel free to sort thru the times that I've mentioned RescueTime to see if I meet your obviously high standards for contributing to the community.

Being a troll and finishing with a ":)" doesn't really make it okay.

Respectfully, I'm not going to go through your comments; I'm just going by what I remember reading over the past year. (By the way, I don't think that mentioning your company as often as possible is necessarily a bad thing, as I had alluded to in the parent post.) If you think that's a reasonable measure, though, go through my comments and find where I have ever been a troll before calling me that. I'd expected more from long time posters. Maybe you'll even find a congratulations post to some of your company's announcements (I'm not sure if I did in this case, but that's what I typically write.) To rephrase my question, have you ever considered having the app track how often one mention a certain keyword in their posts, as you are already tracking their browsing history? That way, you could say at the end of the week--"I mentioned RescueTime 20% more than last week." Of course, it wouldn't necessarily all be in one post in one day on News.YC--maybe in blogs, or gmail, and maybe once on average per html form post. Isn't that a cool idea? Thanks.


Hrm-- seemed and felt mean-spirited to me (your comment)-- I guess my sarcasm detector went off when it shouldn't. I apologize!
