Do you guys mind sharing if a PR firm helped you get the spot? Notice a significant upgrade in the number of sign-ups?
We've never used a PR person or firm and only one time did one of us email a reporter out of the blue.
We are in the "lucky stiffs" category. ;-) Reporters love the information overload / productivity stuff and we tend to have lots of great data that excites reporters. We've done a few things to encourage this (blog post here and there), but for the most part, it's totally inbound.
In terms of signups, we've never noticed a huge bump in signups from mainstream media (a few national tech radio shows, NYT article, etc). We get more signups from blogs we've never heard of. It's great for SEO and credibility, tho.

Thanks! Good stuff - but somehow I think you're making your own luck!
I'm also curious.
Way to go Tony!
I use RescueTime personally, if my workplace was to use it... not so sure how that will effect me. Rather not have it in the workplace at the moment.
Also missed the ability to view the all time aggregate data rather than the currently at most yearly data.

Good job with the interview. I know it can be a lot tougher than it looks.
