Press Roundup 5

We’re such press darlings! This is our fifth big press roundup. For the sake of completeness (and because I’m certain you’re terribly eager to read every word of all our press coverage ever), here are the previous four:

1. Press Roundup: What’s the Buzz?
2. Beeminder Buzz at 30,000 Feet, and other New Year’s Coverage
3. Beeminder Buzz: Front Page of the Wall Street Journal
4. Another Press Roundup Part Deux, Revisited: Return of the Beeminder Buzz Returns Again!

(In case you didn’t diligently click each of those, the bragworthy highlights are full features in Lifehacker, Portland Business Journal, Runner’s World Online, Southwest Airlines’ inflight magazine, plus blurbs in Forbes and TechCrunch and SHAPE magazine. And the front page of the Wall Street Journal, in case we didn’t make a big enough deal out of that one.)

But on to the latest Beeminder buzz, which we’re going to be lazier about this time and just dump into a huge numbered list. Special mention goes to a couple instances of Beeminder on national television, first as part of a crazy media frenzy around the Beeminder founders and more recently a mention on PBS.

Without further ado, here’s the full list since last time. Hover over the links for excerpts and comments!
