Measuring Up: Our personal numbers on the Web
A friend of mine has lost over 100 pounds through diet and exercise. For many months, I saw her dedication to walking every day reflected in time and mileage reported to Facebook through a Nike application. I always made a point of clicking “like” when I saw one of these records so that I could encourage her good work. When I was at IBM, they had the option of keeping exercise records online as part of a health initiative for employees.
