1time’s online time tracking software has really picked up pace in the last few months with some great press from Germany, Spain and Ireland. I like to espcially thank some of the recent blog posts in the Tuesday Push iniciative.

1time itself has had a great new client view feature and we are working hard now on a mobile phone version and more advanced expense tracking.

Damien Mulley has started a great initiave called The Tuesday Push.
While this has prompted me to post about PutPlace (Online backup and storage), it is a service I’ve been meaning to post about for a while.

From the various hardware mishaps over the years, one thing that has struck me square in the nose is just how fragile digital information is. Any important document that you store in just one location can be lost forever and it is quite likely it will be if you leave it there long enough.

We can all  make a conscious effort to copy our files daily to backup disks or USB drives but in the busy hectic world we live in this invariably doesn’t happen.

This is where PutPlace comes in. It offers two key features, it backups all my data and gives me access to this information from multiple locations. More importantly it does this without me having to press a button or open my file browser as it happens seamlessly in the background anytime I’m connected to the internet from each computer I own.  If I need a file and I’m not on my own machine I can just login to the web interface and download the file from there.

I was lucky enough to be on of the private beta testers and anyone can now sign up to there public beta.  This is a very powerful tool that I have already used sharing files across different computers.  The day I’ll really appreciate it is when one of those computers decides to eat all my files. The insurance of knowing that those files are safe is what makes me love it now.

UseAMap.com is a simple Google maps mashup service that has just been launched. Its pretty straight forward, you create a short name for a location and add directions to a place which is then marked on a map, e.g. http://useamap.com/jeebers. You can then email from the site a link to your new map for others to view.

Vincent, who also works in Jeebers and on 1time with me, created this service. Without being biased, I have to say I really like services like this for its simplicity and usefulness, similar to http://futureme.org
