Enough with “social”, “connecting”, “sharing” or other me too’s…

I have been increasingly getting sick of new applications and sites that aim to utilize social networking to “interact socially” or connect people. All of the buzz words and marketing hype get to become annoying and vague to a point where the benefits of the actual application become obfuscated. Anyways, end rant…

It is refreshing to see applications that aim to collect data that can be of assistance to society in a broader context. I like this idea because it’s focus is to gather and record data around what makes people happy in their daily context. I think that there are a lot of interesting insights that can come from this data.
