Jigsaw Smartphone App Monitors Your Every Move
Can't be bothered to tell your Facebook friends what you are up to? A smartphone app called Jigsaw can help.
Jigsaw's pattern-recognition algorithms enable it to identify a range of behaviors, and allow users to have a very detailed log of how active they are each day. Users could set Jigsaw to send the results to their friends on Facebook or other social networking sites, or have it produce records that could be useful to doctors or fitness trainers. |
