Today, we’re excited to finally announce that we’re part of 500 Startups – one of the world’s leading seed-stage VCs – in their summer 2012 accelerator program.

We’re also announcing we now have over 10,000 registered users who between them have created over 250,000 priorities, over 60% of which have been completed – a completion rate that’s 50% higher than traditional task focused products. People choose Teamly to help them Get The Right Work Done, stay focused and share their achievements with their colleagues. Our mission is about helping our users complete what they set out to do and feel awesome at work because of it.

Although now headquartered in Silicon Valley – just a few miles from Google’s Mountain View headquarters - Teamly started life in London, England. Our founding team is from Scotland, England and California, and our investors and advisors include natives of the Canada, Israel, Pakistan, and both the UK and US. That diversity is reflected in our user base who are from all over the World, from New Zealand to Newfoundland, India to Indiana, and Kenya to Kentucky.

Look out for lots of product enhancements over the coming months!

Finally, to celebrate the unveiling of the new batch at 500 Startups, here’s a video we all put together. It’s called The Funding Games (any similarity to The Hunger Games is entirely intentional!)

Recently we posed the question on Teamly’s facebook page, “What should our theme song be?” We got some great suggestions from our fans!

No doubt productivity and team management was top of mind with these artists when they wrote these songs; who needs another love song?! Boring.

First up – highlighting team collaboration – is Better Together by Jack Johnson:

Another one along the same lines is the classic, Come Together by The Beatles:

Meanwhile, What I’ve Done by Linkin Park highlights the way Teamly users can track their productivity:

Finally, Look What You’ve Done by Jet reminds us that you can also check on what your colleagues have been working on.

Any other suggestions? Let us know in the comments, or head on over to our Facebook page.

It’s been the single most-asked-for feature from users and now we’re pleased to announce the beta launch of our mobile site!

It’s compatible with most mobile browsers, and should automatically load when you visit your Teamly account from a mobile phone.

Once you’ve logged in and loaded your priority dashboard save it for fast access from your homescreen (like an app):

Apple:

• Click the arrow icon next to the address bar, and select “Add to Home Screen”

Android:

• Click on Menu then “Add Bookmark”
• Go to the home screen you want to add the link to
• Long-press in an empty space to bring up the “Add to Home Screen” menu
• select “Shortcuts”
• select “Bookmark”
• choose the Teamly bookmark!

BlackBerry:

• Click on the BlackBerry button then “Add Bookmark”

Windows Mobile

• Click the more menu at the bottom of the screen (…)
• Choose “pin to start” from the options menu

Points to note:

• It works better in landscape mode than portrait, to activate this, just turn your phone 90 degrees!
• If, after logging in you don’t get the mobile view let us know which phone you’re using and we’ll add it to the list.
• This feature is in beta so it’s not perfect but please let us know any bugs or suggestions and we’ll try to incorporate them soon!

A recent study reported by CNN found that how you deal with electronic communication in your life affects your stress level, and therefore your on the job performance.

Researchers at Stanford and Boston University found that it isn’t the actual amount of e-mail you get, but what you do with it that matters when it comes to making you feel behind or out of the loop in the workplace.

What matters is how much time you spend responding to email.

“People who got stressed out had to spend a lot of time reading it and writing,” Prof. Stine Grodal of BU’s School of Management told CNN. “The way that it piles up makes us believe that e-mail is the enemy, the thing that is driving us crazy,” Grodal said.

Teamly advisor and business coach, Cameron Herold says:

Stop the insanity of checking email first thing everyday. Yes, email is great. Yes, email helps us. However, the people getting the most done are not checking email first thing in the morning, nor are they checking email throughout the day.
