Ididwork.com - Website Review

by MJK on October 13, 2008

Ididwork.com is a best web based solution for people like me whose boss never believes that his team work alot more then what is officially expected of them. Ididwork.com can surely help me and many other people like me who can now easily show their boss and the whole team what i have been doing all the day. It can even be used by those guys who just cant keep track of what they have been doing all day or for the past months.

With easy to use interface and few limited but super productive options, you can easily record your activities and assign tags to them. For a blogger, the tags could be like “Blogging”, “networking”, “Blogreading”, “comments” etc. Based on these tags or any new tag, you can keep updating your daily or weekly progress. You can send a daily, weekly or monthly performance report to your never cheering boss either in MS Excel or Pdf format on his assigned e mail address. He can even check it by logging in to his account. The bosses who want to get a better insight into their team working, idowork.com can provide them with a chance to monitor their team in an easy and productive manner.

ididwork.com is justs three months old website and already it got reviewed in a very positive manner by the major website like TechCrunch and Downloadsquad etc. Following is a brief of what Techcrunch says about ididwork.com

The idea seems simple but it tackles a big problem: it is difficult to judge productivity in big companies. In employee reviews managers often have very little idea of what an employee has done, which leads them to make judgments based on behavior that seems productive; like staying late everyday, or sending out company wide emails at three in morning. It also gives employees an idea of what their associates are working on with a news feed, eliminating the need for status meetings.

As far as competition goes, there are many similar services but not many that follow the same model. There are work logging services, but they focus on billable hours, and there are many performance review platforms, but these target HR departments rather than individual employees. 37 Signalsâ€˜ BackPack has some similarities, but it is more suited for coordinating operations within a group rather than tracking individual performance.

And the following is how Downloadsquad talks about ididwork.com

ididwork.com is a great site to use if you a freelancer or if you want to keep track of what you have accomplished at the office. You are given simple text entry points to log what project you did and you can tag it into a certain category, things like presentations, blog posts, report, etc.

This gives you a running list of what you have accomplished, it provides charts of daily accomplishment, what you have done the most work on according to your tags and a graph of overall performance.

You can also use the feedback button to email your manager your recent progress and get comments from him or her. It’s very simple to use and free to sign up. I think it will be a great place to keep track of my blog posts and time spent on other writing projects I am doing.

And, the most useful part if you are working in a team, you can add feeds to your teammates ididwork accounts. For example, if Brad, Lee and I are working on a joint feature post and I need to wait for Brad to be finished with his portion before I can complete mine, if we link up, I can tell as soon as he is done. Then Lee can see when we are both finished and work on his portion.

Give it a try and tell us what you think about the site?
