Very interesting concept for data mining. However, the game itself sounds like just another way to spend time looking at your smart phone or computer instead of looking your kids in the eye and talking to them! I know, I know – that is so “old school”!

Have connections with some people using this. Very interesting idea and certainly a part of data-mining type data as Melanie said. There’s a part of me that still wants to travel around “unrecorded” without leaving info on my travels, whereabouts etc. Maybe it’s my age or independent streak?

Pretty awesome! But, that ferrying of your daughter is actually data-mine type data–you see people who have kids the age of your daughter; you are all in the same (roughly) demographic, so if I’m a REALTOR(R) seeking to sell homes to that demographic, they I know where you are…Gymboree, soccer, Mickey D’s, etc.
