Along the same lines Rescue Time has been a help to me. While it's less about direct competition I still like seeing my productivity growing.

I use Rescue Time as well. I have found it incredibly insightful. As a direct result of Rescue Time I turned e-mail notifications off, I don't log into twitter during working hours, and I turned campfire notifications off.

My productivity has increased since using it, without a doubt.

Never tried Rescue Time but sounds interesting. Masterbranch is gamifying the experience of working on a software project, focusing the metrics on your software rather than where you spend your time (of course this helps with your productivity too)
