WhatPulse 

WhatPulse is a key counting program which monitors the number of keystrokes, mouse clicks and more recently the distance the mouse moves (this can be viewed in both metric and imperial (miles, kilometers, and meters)), that a person makes over a period of time. The program is not spy-ware, as it does not record the specific keystrokes, programs that do record specific keystrokes are called "key loggers". WhatPulse has a website where you can register, download, and view your stats or somebody else's stats, you can join groups and view rankings in the high-scores. Website: www.WhatPulse.org
