We deployed several fixes and features today. We're in the middle of a few major additions but decided to filter out some important things and deploy a few of them early.

By popular demand google applications are trackable in the habits now. We've had a lot of requests for this. 8aweek by default groups your browsing habits by domain. But there are some annoying sites out there (ie Google) that like to put lots of useful apps at random sub urls with no format consistency.

At first we were just going to split out the google apps but we decided to make it a little more general. There is now a habits tab in the preferences and there you can add extra urls that you want to track separately from its domain (example: mail.yahoo.com). We set up a few google apps as default, but they can also be removed simply from that page.

Also on that page you'll notice the sites that you've chosen not to track. A few users have accidentally chosen to un-track pages that they didn't want to permanently un-track and there was previously no way to get them back. The Preferences Habits page lets you double check on those sites. There you can now choose to start tracking that site again, or hide from view and never track. We're debating the balance of usefulness vs annoyance of this feature. Let us know what you think.

Another big request was being able to restrict pages directly from the habits. The restriction will not happen instantaneously until we release the next toolbar in a few days. (Hint: for now you have to visit the restrict page for the toolbar to pull in the changes.) We wouldn't have thought of this feature without feed back on it so thank you to those who requested it.

Other additions include longer time periods to the habits view, some fixes to some ajax, line spacings in the feedback, a more organized save page and several other things that I can't remember right now.

Our next update will be a customizable toolbar! The toolbar is pretty sizable right now and non-adjustable. Making it smaller has been our number one request lately and we're working hard at it. We're also in the middle of some cool new ways of viewing your time online and more enhancements to the restrictions such as being able to automatically and temporarily restrict links taken from a social news site such as reddit, digg, etc. Make sure you send us some feedback to get your requests are in our upcoming releases.
