I always have ProZ running in the background because of KudoZ for double checking. And of course, because of the quick polls:-) | | |

KudoZ is always one of the open tabs, but that's not necessarily "time spent here", so the question is difficult to answer. | | |

Seldom more than 5 or 6 spare minutes at once but several times a day... | |

it's usually in the background so that I can consult it quickly when needed. Then if it's not a busy moment I might answer the poll! | | |

As seems to be the general trend here, I usually have Proz running in the background and may consult it anything between 3 and 30 times a day for Kudoz, to check powwow information, consult the Blue Board, etc. | | |
Sometimes for activities with colleagues more than one hour, sometimes five mins. | | |
Proz tab open | Sep 14, 2009 |
Like the others, I very often have a Proz tab open in my web browser when I'm translating, mostly to look things up on Kudoz - so several hours per day, depending on how much translating I do. But the amount of time I actually spend on the Proz site would rarely amount to more than an hour in one day. | |

I rarely open ProZ because there simply is no need for it. For the people that keep a tab open for Kudoz there is a simpler solution: download the Kudoz Toolbar! Very nice gadget! Cheers to all, Peter | | |

To those who spend more than six hours on this site, my question is this: how do you find the time to work? I probably spend about half an hour each day on this site, although some days I don't visit it at all and some days I spend several hours, especially when I am doing research on topics of interest. I, like many others, also visit a few minutes at a time, several times a day. | | |
Different criteria | Sep 14, 2009 |

I suspect people were answering the question according to different criteria. I answered with the number of hours I have Proz open on my computer on a working day, but a lot of people presumably answered according to how much time they actually spend looking at the site. | | |

I don't consult proz every day. | |

Work Place vs. Market Place | Sep 15, 2009 |
ProZ defines itself as a "workplace" first and a "market place" second (see intro video). From this standpoint, I use ProZ for hours and hours during my translation work (e.g., checking glossaries), but as a market place probably less than than an hour a day, i.e., a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Be that as it may, it is always available to me. If I am not at my desk, I have it on my iPhone. | | |

Like most people, I have it open all day while translating as well as an online dictionary, wordreference.com, Google, my email... - a workday could be anything from 1-12 hours depending on the workload. I use the Kudoz regularly to look up terms and I also like answering the polls! | | |
