4 Unique Apps for Tracking Time
Keeping track of your billable hours is an essential task for any freelancer. Just as important is keeping track of non-billable hours, to see how much work you're actually putting into a project, and to determine if you are utilizing your time for maximum efficiency.
Tracking time can be a pain in the butt experience, and can itself become a time sink. Below is a round up of 4 web applications that each take their own approach to time tracking. Let us know in the comments your experience with each of these apps, and any others that you use for keeping track of your time.

If you’re a freelancer, chances are you need to track your time in order to bill your clients. And that can be a major hassle.
You might also be a mobile freelancer, like me, who uses multiple computers and wants to be able to work from anywhere. In that case, a web-based time tracker might be the way to go. You want something easy to use, cheap, with a nice interface. Preferably even fun to use.

Harvest for iPhone: Manage Work Time And Expenses On The Go
So you're running a small business, and you're looking to organize your invoicing, expenses, timesheet, etcetera. And maybe you've come across Harvest, a Web service that does all of that busy work of managing your daily supply of jobs. Maybe you really enjoy what Harvest offers, and would really like to access it while away from your PC. Perhaps on your iPhone. (Or what will be your iPhone when the 3G model arrives.)
If so, you're in luck. Released last week and highlighted by Brett Terpstra on TUAW, Harvest now provides iPhone owners with an easy way to manage both your timesheet and expenses while away from the office. Which, if you're a traveling service specialist, you naturally do quite a bit of.

Harvest clocks in on the iPhone
I've tried a lot of online time-tracking solutions and have personally come to love Harvest for its simplicity, good looks and -- more than anything -- the great tools they provide to make punching in and out simple enough that people might actually do it. They've had a Dashboard widget (also available for Yahoo! Widgets) for some time which allows for insanely fast job tracking, whether entering it in post or starting and stopping a timer. You can even use Twitter from your phone to stop a running job timer if you forget. As of last Thursday, though, you can handle all of your time tracking and expense logging through a spiffy iPhone interface.

Harvest On Twitter - A Future Twitter Business Model?
Expense and time tracking web application Harvest will announced tomorrow that it has added Twitter support. The new service will let users update tracking entries via Twitter from their mobile phones. The web page for the upcoming feature sports a "Powered by Twitter" logo and made us wonder: could this be a glimpse into a future business model for Twitter?

HARVEST
Tracking your time on paper timesheets can often seem like, well, a waste of time. Now there is a better way to track time, and it's online. With Harvest, you can set up timesheets and manage your time more efficiently. It's free to use, but if you want more features and functionality you have to upgrade to a paid version. The paid version is worth your money if you have a lot of time-tracking to do and want a good "paper trail."
