Bring TIM! (Time Is Money) is a clock that tallies the dollars spent in meetings (The Meeting Ticker is an online version). The TIM clock is mentioned in this WSJ article which describes how NYC Mayor Bloomberg, who wrote in his autobiography of his appreciation for stand-up meetings, has ordered the installation of a different model of count-up clocks in meeting rooms throughout City Hall. The reason: “To make staffers mindful of how much time they’re spending jawing with one another.” [via MH]
