What Google's Marissa Mayer calls "The sensor revolution" is upon us and multiple fitness sensors are on the market. Loic le Meur just called for a "body API" to handle the data these generate. In his talk Paul argues that it already exists and is called Twitter. Tweeters are already sharing #fitstats, weigh-ins, and #nikeplus and Garmin #runs by the thousands each day. It's in Twitter's best interest to encourage this behavior as data is a growing business and in the tweeters' best interest too as illustrated by a recent Kaiser Permanente study but the system needs to be optimized. @jpmarcum, marcum.com

- But unfortunately the Wii Fit and the Nike Plus, along with many of the others, are either intentionally closed or make it so difficult to export data that it’s nearly impossible for the average user to do it. Just assuming that a few of the 24MM Wii Fit bit buyers can’t write parsers for Linux…http://www.huanix.com/2010/04/03/export-wii-fit-data-to-a-csv-for-import-into-excel-or-database/
- Here’s a solution that someone has hacked – download your Wii Fit data onto an SD card and then merely parse it in Unix – how many of the 24MM people who own the Wii Fit can do this?
- Shouldn’t health and fitness data be portable by default and public by user-choice? After all, it’s *our bodies’* data not Nintendo’s or Nike’s. If there’s ongoing revenue source once a user has bought the sensor,
- They want accountability and support beyond what they’re getting within the closed systems. (Brian Stelter in the Times (http://nyti.ms/b5E26i)
