Bedpost in The Wall Street Journal:
The New Examined Life: Why more people are spilling the statistics of their lives on the Web.
Part experimentation, part self-help, such “personal informatics” projects, as they are known, are gathering steam thanks to people like Mr. Felton who find meaning in the mundane. At their disposal are a host of virtual tools to help them become their own forensic accountants, including Web sites such as Dopplr, which allows people to manage and share travel itineraries, and Mon.thly.Info, for tracking menstrual cycles. Parents can document infant feeding schedules with Trixie Tracker. And couples can go from between the sheets to spreadsheets with Bedpost, which helps users keep track of their amorous activities.
For those wanting to quantify their bedroom life, Bedpost offers categorization and visualization tools for all of one’s amorous activities. The site tracks frequency over time and allows users to describe what they do as well as create charts and tables about their favorite sexual acts and partners.
