Interesting turn on the web, a startup company in the Netherlands, Wakoopa, has a setup that will track application use. Moreover, the tracking commits to privacy issues with the Web 2.0 interaction required from the end user. What’s this? To put it simply, the app tracks app usage of applications. Similar to a music download service, Wakoopa uses a tracking tool to record user application use.

With the tracking in place, users can share and communicate opinions on their favorite apps, thus new users can choose to explore yet another new tool. Man, this crap is getting crazy! It’s hard enough keeping a day job let alone tracking every new web tool.

I find it very interesting. However, the data speaks for itself taking in consideration that the user demographic is a likely young audience. Why say that? Well, for starters I see Firefox as the number 1 app in use. If you don’t know, most colleges use proprietary crap that they recommend using IE for online classes. Problem is, IE don’t work that well sadly. Enter stage right, Firefox; it solves all our issues. Have you heard of WebCT?

Side note:for some reason my qwerty issues keep typing wakoops.com! Should you buy this domain?
