What a fun little app! Total invasion of personal time...however, very, very interesting.
Above is a embedable widget from the site listing all the software I am curretnly running on my PC. Wow! Pretty scary when you think about it. Right now I am just trying to understand the benefits of something like this, or rather the social software benefits of this. Here are some of my initial thoughts.
- discover new software via your contacts
- see what people are doing
- see how you spend your time
Also from a software development/use standpoint, there is lots of usage statistics that can be harvested. For example they have this quote on the website:
"Did you know communicating is the second biggest activity on the computer? We do. Wakoopa knows software"
What do you guys think?

Hmm... I'd have to think long and hard before using this one. I wouldn't be able to delude myself about my productivity any longer! I think it's definitely social-oriented: see what pgms my "friends" use and then download them. Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Don't you already know what apps you are using?? LOL
I can see the benefit of this because it sends you notices/updates on software that you like. That would be helpful. I also like that they have a database of applications that you can browse to find the right app for the right job! That would be useful.
