Gadgets & Lifestyle| “Reporter” App released by the Designers of Facebook Timeline

~  Nicholas Felton, is the creative genius behind Facebook’s Timeline that we all use and have come to be addicted to checking. This same genius has recently presented a lifetime tracker app called “Reporter” which started as a personal app but seen to be meant for something much larger. Felton designed this app originally for personal use only as he tracked the last two years of his life using this capable measuring system that details what your life consist of.  

How Does This Work? Well, the app works as a survey tool, that notifies you to answer a series of questions at randomized times during the day.  Nothing to difficult, but questions like “How many cups of coffee have you had?” and “Who are you with?” and answered with either multiple choice, fill in the blanks and yes/no options. Aiming to as accurate as possible, the app is designed to tally the responses to gather information on your life.   Currently the app is more about gathering data, however, ultimately its intuitive design will undoubtedly lead to merged technologies. Fitness brands, travel line and promotional companies can only gather but so much information on you, but with this new source of data entry, these companies can retrieve more accurate information.

  1. While some may find this a bit weird, as the articles states, companies will get to know you better,(why some people still have an issue with this even though they have nothing to hide still baffles me)., thus allowing company to provide you with better products and services. It’s also a great way to chronology life events to share with generations to come!

    1. I Agree, we are in a time where this information is very visible, but to some degree it turns out to be helpful in some cases. Of course this all looks like a huge invasion on privacy but i think most who interact via social media already give that right up. For a company to know how to better serve you should never be an issue. At the end of the day people are going to complain about everything anyway, so even this will still raise a complaint somehow.
