Yeah, I don't want my manager to see what app I am running at any time. Hard no!
My thought also. Just tweeted about it:

I don't want to share what app I'm using in real-time (Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes) Is this just me?
But ok, nice way to be open & transparent I guess.
Still my first thought is: seems like I always have to be mindful about what app I'm using right now as the whole team can see it when I read too much HN

but how about letting your manager track the quality of your HN comments! Who wouldn't want that?

From their home page pitch:
> Spontaneous Conversations
> Time zones got you working late? See who is also in work mode and get quick feedback on your work.
When I'm working late, the last thing I want is for other people to pop in to spontaneous conversations with me.
This product may be great for teams that thrive with always-on collaboration and struggle to contain their collaboration to scheduled meetings, but I personally think that it's better to adapt working styles to remote working tools than to try to adapt the tools to imitate the office.
> True real-time Presence creates the feeling of being in an office with co-workers. You don't feel alone. You feel like you can talk to people as easily as turning your head (and, in a Virtual Office, you can).
I don't think I want to bring the open office concept into remote working. I'm sure this is a great product for certain teams, but this isn't really ideal for heads-down work.
