We have made a demonstration video to give a quick introduction to Yast Time Tracking.
This video includes how to register a user, create projects, edit time listings and more. Some key features are not listed in this video, such as live timers and sub-grouping of projects, but in general a great video if you need a short introduction before signing up.

When offering a web service to the public, the overall goal is usually to gain as many users as possible. How successful you are, depends on a number of factors, such as appearance, usability, price, coolness, etc, etc. But there are more to it than that. Getting new users can in simple terms be divided into just two crucial steps. 1: Make your users tell other people about your service. 2: Make people register when visiting your page for the first time. If you are successful with these two points, we believe your service will become a hit. Point number 1 is up to you, this article discusses point number 2: Making people register the first time they visit your page.
The tedious work of registering your e-mail, username, address, etc at web service is something people tend to dislike. This is especially true if the new service asks too many questions. Take phone-numbers. How many times have you entered your phone number in one of these forms, and then how many times have you been called as a result of that? Probably none. So why did they really ask for it in the first place? Facing the creation of the signup-form for yast.com, we took the time to rethink the traditional design. How can we annoy the user as little as possible, and by such raise the chance for a new user signing up for our service? We have no statistics on this, but we believe that offering new users a very simple signup will make him or her think something along the lines of; “Oh, they aren’t asking for the usual bullshit, maybe I should give it a go anyway..”, and by this give the user sort of a positive feeling about the service. This is what we came up with:
”In the coming year will I and the most affected ministers will invite people from different communities. All the ministers will be in all regions of the country to collect input. We will also use the Web to invite all to participate in the debate. It’s about the country’s most important resource: people.”

The Yast entrepreneurs chose to start their business from a little town called Sogndal because of its beautiful surroundings and great opportunities for hiking and ski-sports. Having no prior relations to the town, we have been answering the same question over and over. Why did you move to Sogndal? And now, even the prime minister wants an answer to that question.
It´s been exactly one week since Håvard texted me at 02.00 in the morning. “67 new users in 40 minutes.” It is the rate of 870 000 per year. Something was up. Five minutes later, he texted again: “We´re cover girls on Lifehacker.com”. Even though we were thrilled, the timing couldn´t have been worse. In the morning, both Jørn, our server master, and me were to have a presentation for the newly elected Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Liv Signe Navarsete. Being five well educated young men, she wanted our input on why we had started our business in a rural area of Norway wich also happened to be her hometown. True story!
Jørn and Håvard stayed up nearly all night to maintain the server, while I tried to sleep. The presentation miraculously went fine, and Yast was boosting all day long. A day to remember!
Yast is using using a number of external libraries, these include:
www.yast.com has entered a new phase. After nearly 10 months of closed testing, it’s now possible for everyone to try the first public test of our time tracking service.
This doesn’t mean that Yast is finished, fine-tuned and without errors. On the contrary, we open up the service so we can get more feedback on how we can improve and focus our future efforts. In addition, we have seen that many of the test users use the service on a regular basis. Especially freelancers and small companies report back to us that Yast is useful to their business.
Yast have for some time asked IE 6 users to update their browser since Yast are not going to support this format. When Finn.no launched an international campaing to export IE 6 to the museum application, Yast got inspired to support this campain with a browser-cartoon for their IE 6 visitors. Enjoy and share the campaign! (feel free to use the cartoon)

Yast skal på turné til Trondheim, Bergen og Oslo. Vi blir med «Framtidsfylket», som arrangeres i regi av Sogn og Fjordane fylkeskommune. Målet er å finne potensielle medarbeidere, samtidig som vi gjerne vil fortelle studentene det vi gjerne skulle hørt selv for ett år siden: Å starte bedrift er ikke så ille vanskelig som man tror. Man må bare vite hvor man skal starte. Har du en gründer i magen, er det bare å hoppe i det! Vi kommer til å ha en stand, i tillegg til å holde et 15 minutter innlegg.
