I really like the idea. There is a definitely a need for something like this. I'm curious to know if you plan on adding any sort of communication aspects (along the lines of built in chat, messages, possibly video chat, etc.)?
I think it would be helpful if you included the option to input the time that each task took.
It's something we've been debating about, and it helps to know what a user would prefer. Right now you can star an entry, so the more important work gets prominence.
I like the idea and initial basic implementation. I can see a lot of potential. The name has problems, though. First, it seems a bit defensive: "Look, I did work!" Second, it looks/sounds a little like 'idiotwork'. There are tons of themes and word fragments to work with for 'team microblogging of work tasks with metrics', so I think with a little effort you could have a very memorable, meaningful name. Good luck!

i have a similar system, but much more rudimentary in place, i've got an email sent daily automatically to all teammembers asking them 2 questions.
what did you do today? how long did each task take you?
i hoped to do some reports but haven't done it since i must get the info out of the emails, so i was thinking on getting a webpage up where team members would update their work done, and now you just did it.
so thank you and congratulations!
just one thing, so now that we can measure the amount of work done, what about the quality of the results and the time it took to do? oh, and what about what i need to do, maybe something like nowdothis.com could help...

The only concern I have is, I might not want to give details to somebody on the tasks Im working(since the projects whatever I do in my company are confidential). This could be a genunine problem for most company employees but for personal tracking its great. EDIT: Same concern over rescuetime which sends all the corporate urls to thier server?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm the other cofounder. That's something we're working to alleviate concerns for - we've added hackersafe and verisign (and truste's on the roadmap) so the data is secure and the session is encrypted. It's definitely something we want our users to be comfortable with, and something we're working on.
Right. But my actual concern was not that a middleman is snooping, but the concern of giving the data to ididwork.com. Its not that data is not secure, but I think companies might be just simply paranoid(for no reason maybe). A hosted solution within thier control might be one of the solutions. Again, might be people are ok with that and its just my thought.
I like it, but I'm skeptical when TechCrunch says "it will eliminate the need for status meetings". Face-to-face still offers lots of advantages: you can ask questions in real time, you can read body language, and you have have quicker discussions. ididwork is a supplement (a pretty good one too!), but not a replacement.

2- Although being focused is good, it can be open to anyone as anyone can find a "use model" for it. eg students who want to track their progress throughout the semester (while using twitter).
