I'm sure the discussion will soon slip to "OMG, Facebook has data and its gonna do evil things". That's a valid point, but I hope people here see the amount of information we now know about _us_, that equips for more informed decisions of tomorrow.

Google&#x27;s Moto G seems a lot more interesting now -- their marketing effort has been summarized as &quot;getting the next 1 billion people online.&quot;<p>This alludes to anticipating urban migration and knowing 1) who moves where 2) when they move. This can be very interesting and (in most cases) frighteningly accurate advertisement information.

Tracking urban migration trends?<p>The temptation that none of the big data hoover companies (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.) will be able to resist is something else:<p>When you have so much data on everybody, you have created yourself a situation that allows you to &quot;hack the system&quot; to your advantage and the disadvantage of those who don&#x27;t have all that data. You can analyze the trends that the data shows and link them to the movements of the stock exchange, and you&#x27;re all set for infinite passive income and domination - now you know before everybody else what to buy and what to sell and when (you can call it &quot;insider trading based on data&quot;).<p>Now, if you, as the user want to supply all that data, that&#x27;s up to you. If so, you&#x27;ll not only be appreciated by those companies but by certain government agencies as well.

My team and I did an analysis on our Facebook dataset recently that might (or might not) have inspired this particular work.<p>You can find the geographic analysis within this blog post:<p><a href="http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2013/04/data-science-of-the-facebook-world/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.stephenwolfram.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;04&#x2F;data-science-of-the-f...</a><p>There is a much higher resolution version of the &quot;migration wheel&quot; available here:<p><a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2013/12/start/facebook-migration-station" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.co.uk&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2013&#x2F;12&#x2F;start&#x2F;facebo...</a>

From that data? It&#x27;s way too basic.<p>Mine isn&#x27;t completed, partly because the real friends know it and the casual acquaintances don&#x27;t need it, but if it were? Well, I can&#x27;t tell them where I&#x27;m from with any precision. I grew up in four different towns, none particularly close to the others, went back to one for University (well, sort of - a stint in each of two towns in a conurbation), moved to a fifth for work, currently live in a sixth but will probably move to a seventh later this year - and I don&#x27;t expect that move to be a &#x27;forever&#x27; home.<p>So, Facebook, where am I from?

I really wish this was interactive. I clicked through to the article directly from Facebook, but it was still static images. It&#x27;s hard to follow the lines when there are a bunch of them overlapping.

Does that give them enough of an edge to make a killing in the property market? (by investing in up-and-coming areas before everyone else catches on)

And their users are giving them their data for free, in exchange for being able to get a daily does of &quot;Like&quot;-events, so that we can feel validated I guess?
