Facebook's Moves buy and the land grab of 2014 - CNET

More Moves musings

"[...] Moves is a free application for iOS and Android that makes sense of your physical movements to determine whether your walking, cycling, or running, effectively obviating the need for a pricey wristband. Just download the app, set it in motion, and let it do everything but the heavy lifting for you.

Moves, which has been downloaded 4 million times, works phenomenally and it's incredibly cool -- until you realize how creepy it is that the app tracks every step you take and has fallen into the hands of someone you barely trust to manage your social relationships. Conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this one, but realistically this app is so low on the totem pole that you've probably got a few years of running around before Facebook starts eavesdropping."
