Followup Beeminder.com

I continue to be impressed with Beeminder.com.  The simple daily interaction takes seconds and inspires me to over-perform.

Each morning at 9AM, Beeminder sends me an email showing me recent updates.  I reply with the first line looking like '5 256 "Any comment I want to make"'.  Within a few minutes, Beeminder sends me a second mail with a link to an updated chart.  Although I am obese, I am very proud of the 18 pounds I've lost in the last couple of months.  Here is my current chart.

Shortly after my first Beeminder post, Daniel Reeves from Beeminder.com reached out and we have been corresponding about a couple of things:

1.  I should explain Beeminder's financial commitment model; and
2.  How can we leverage this awesome tool to motivate a project team to commit?
