Google, Microsoft and many other companies already collect anonymous data about the usage of their software. It may not use the same technology as this application but the idea is already out and may use the technology already used by other companies..

Hi Chris
Can you find anything submittable at the links you mention? I see you noted a close similiarity between this application and "S/M for tracking application usage" with the comment that the same art probably applies to both. If you think that comment applies to these reference can you make sure it shows up in both places? Tx. Susan Murray
