    Lost in E-Mail, Tech Firms Face Self-Made Beast - NYTimes.com

    Some great mentions and a quote from StartPad tenants, RescueTime, in the New York Times this weekend.

    Quoted: A typical information worker who sits at a computer all day turns to his e-mail program more than 50 times and uses instant messaging 77 times, according to one measure by RescueTime, a company that analyzes computer habits. The company, which draws its data from 40,000 people who have tracking software on their computers, found that on average the worker also stops at 40 Web sites over the course of the day.
    ...
    “We are hunter-gatherers at the core,” said Tony Wright, chief executive of RescueTime, who is also a member of the new nonprofit group. “We open e-mail and hit ‘send and receive’ to see if something interesting has come in.”
