Have you ever wanted to know what your distributed team is doing ?
Did you ever want to easily tweet about what you’re presently working on ?
Have you ever wanted to have a simple time tracking tool for your CodeBeamer tasks ?
Well, we at ScopeSET pretty much work in a distributed environment all the time, we’re using CodeBeamer, we often ping around to check who’s presently doing what, and sometimes, we even need to track the time we spend on things 
So there was an idea to combine all those needs into a nice little tool which would make our lives easier. Introducing CBLiveTracker:
With CBLiveTracker, you can pick any task from a CodeBeamer site, set it to your individual in-progress status and press the start button. The tool will update the CodeBeamer task, take the start time and send a twitter message telling everyone who’s interested that you started working on something.
When you finish the task, you simply set the done status and press the stop button. Status and time-spent will be updated in CodeBeamer and another tweet will be sent. That’s pretty much it.
The tool can be downloaded on javaforge.com, either as source or Win32 binary. Further documentation is available there as well.
Please comment if you have any ideas how to improve or adapt the tool.

I use http://www.hourdoc.com’s time tracking software for my company. It is easy to use and very affordable. They offer free application to companies with less than 50 users.
