If you are interested in life tracking, you might want to try out one of our (Whereoscope, YC10) apps called DriveTime.<p>Passively monitors your location every 10 minutes, collates, and then lets you view graphs etc. from within the app. Information is not shared with anyone - it's designed purely for an individual user.<p>I realize this is a self-serving post, but thought it might be relevant. The app just got dropped to $0.99.

It may come back to hunt the author down the road. I am not sure why anyone would expose themselves like that in public. Reminds me a story of lifelock service. CEO of lifelock exposed his SSN number to the public only to find it used for fraudulent activities.

This data about all of us, what we are doing, where we go, who we date, what cars we drive, etc is going to become publicly available eventually. There are going to be tons of companies who <i>really</i> want that data.<p>If we don't make a system where that data can be bought and sold based on the preferences of the person being data mined, then privacy will be blown out the window in just 30 years. There will be no reason to introduce yourself to people, all they have to do is access your logs.
