Leaving aside my low opinion of testimonials as evidence for choosing a product or service (I know they work and they are thus an effective marketing tool, but I don't trust them for reasons that should be obvious to LessWrongers), I think it is too early for me to unreservedly recommend Beeminder to the "public at large".
My experience with it is still in a bit of a honeymoon period emotionally (I get excited about new things - don't we all!) so I want to be sure I am not just getting carried away.
I recommend that you solicit my permission for a testimonial in a month or so. If I am still using Beeminder (as seems likely at this time) then I am sure I will be happy to oblige.
Love it. Alarm set for a month (or so).
And, yes, testimonials are, well, cheap talk. But our testimonials aren't like that, baby, I swear it... http://beeminder.com/testimonials
Hey Danny and Bethany - you forgot to ask me again about using my earlier praise as a testimonial!
To cut short any suspense - you may use my previous statement.
My perspective has now developed a little (I am not sure quite how I let music practice start to slip, given I get so much out of it), but I stand by everything I previously said.
I have in fact recommended Beeminder to a few other people who I thought would "get it" and make good use of it.
Two months now without running off the road on any of my counters - though getting to bed on time has been close to the wire lately...
