This is the stupidest website I have ever seen (MyProgress) nothing like spilling your guts for the world, and hackers to see.

Whoever came up with this should be shunned by the gender of their choice – and should be drawn, quartered, and (my personal favorite) have their entrails BURNED.

Duncan has returned and no one cares. This requires far too much input to make it worthwhile.

good idea, but i think i’m sick of trackers and stuff like that. There are so many buttons, charts, textboxes to click/view/analyze every day

It looks a nice site as well as concept but the problem is very few people will keep on updating things on regular basis. They get good number of people registered to there service but it will be interesting to see the ratio of registered members and.active number of people say after 12 months

Interesting, but the last thing I need is another tool/website/widget that I need to track on a daily basis.

What in this product is best of breed? Meaning what is going to convince the finance junkies to stop using Yahoo Finance and use this or the running junkies to stop using their own training blog and use this. What is compelling about this proposition?

No amount of external validation will make you feel successful if you don’t believe it yourself. Rather than wasting time entering nonsensical statistics like the monetary value of your pets into MyProgress, you could be doing something that makes you happy and helps you grow as a person. MyProgress is betting on our competitive nature and addiction to judging ourselves against others. These are probably not qualities you want to nurture with a clever online tool.

Hmmm, So i can compare haves against have nots. Wannabes against Bees! How do i compare against my neighbor….FFS if this is aimed at G18-35, then the writer that said the USA is dead and over is right. Maybe China does have it right. Measure up against that behmoth
Gee as if there is not enuff marketing BS about having more. bigger, better , sooner.
Can’t we grow up ? Lets measure how much we give. Lets measure how much we share. Better still lets not measure that. Lets just go do it.

This looks like a really good idea, will have to see how it works in the long term.

I agree with #32 however. This data could easily be used by gvt or corporate snoops for personality profiling and worse.

The fact that this site exists (and is gaining traction??) to me is a greater reflection of the insecurities of many of us in the modern world – I feel I can say this with some authority as this would have appealed to me greatly in my previous existance inside corporate land. Now that I have been out for sometime and making our way in small business land the metrics do not seem to apply in the same way as the measures of success are now are emotional therefore more difficult to to represent graphically.

Therefore this has every likelihood of succeeding. As my business partner Caspar (www.rewardingdialogue.co.uk/profiles/20-caspar-craven) put’s it “sites must have a visceral element – Greed, Schardenfreude, reflecting the Zeitgeist, exploiting people’s inner most fears” – to give themselves the best chance of success. To those on the greasy pole, this plays into their inner fears and will give some comfort to those who feel personal benchmarking is a prop to support them.

Wait until they produce the “ranking” tables, that will really get people going.

Interesting project. I’m not sure I agree with their premise that they have developed a fun, easy to use product. The product fails to bring any excitement into what is a very tedious and boring task. Can’t see it ever having mass appeal.

But good attempt nonetheless.
