What a great beginning to our campaign! We were made Kickstarter staff pick on our first day. Then covered by Wired UK+US, The Guardian, Cnet, Goop, Core77 plus many more.
It's called Hackaball, a smart and responsive ball that children can program to invent and play games.

Congrats! This looks really interesting from a smart home perspective. Could we track duration of "play time" through an API?

It's really amazing, and let me tell you, your visuals are PERFECT, for me, your project page is the way a Project page should look!
I recently relaunch mine, is an electronic toy but, is for Visual Impaired and Blind children, to enhance daily key skills.

You guys are awesome! I saw your project just when it debuted, and I knew it was going to be a runaway success.. Congratulations.
I'm having some pretty good success on our campaign, but yes trying to figure out the best way to get the PR coverage we want. Writers don't seem to like to just make a story about your campaign, you have to make it a story!
I'll definitely be offering some advice after my campaign, so hopefully I can continue the momentum. If you're interested here's mine, for our new digital guitar, the jamstik+

Fantastic results.....Congratulations!
Of the media you referenced (Wired UK+US, The Guardian, Cnet, Goop, Core77), which outlet do you feel provided the most value in terms of gaining backers?
We have a Kickstarter project that we are now introducing to different media outlets, primarily via Press Release distribution (see
http://kck.st/1C1GTGj), but would like to take a more "shot gun" approach to announcements, so if you feel one is more beneficial than another, I sure would appreciate the guidance!
