inspires people to exercise more, eat better and live a healthier lifestyle. The company’s newly introduced health and wellness monitoring tools make it easy for anyone to achieve a healthier lifestyle by automatically collecting data about a person’s daily activities and by presenting this data in a motivating and entertaining way.

The Fitbit Tracker is an ultra-compact wireless wearable device that automatically tracks and wirelessly uploads data about a person’s activities, such as exercise intensity levels, calories burned, sleep quality, steps and distance. It is as small as a pack of matches and clips securely onto any article of clothing or slips easily into a pocket. The Tracker uses motion sensing technology to precisely capture all moment-to-moment physical activity throughout the day and night. It also measures sleep quality to provide a holistic view of a 24-hour period. At the click of a button, calories, steps and distance are illuminated and displayed on the Tracker. In addition to these numerical measurements, the Tracker also displays a user’s progress toward their goals in the form of an avatar that changes as a user advances toward or falls behind their goals.

Data collected by the Fitbit Tracker is wirelessly uploaded to a Website where the wearer can see their information and track their progress toward personal goals. The Website’s motivational interface encourages users to share progress and lets people create groups made up of friends, family or co-workers to jointly work towards a common goal. On the Website, users can also log nutrition, weight and other health information in order to gain a complete picture of their health.

Seekler he lists and review site that consists of wiki-like contributions from its users, has launched its public beta and has added a few changes to the site according to its private beta testing. We first mentioned Seekler here, and I got a chance to dig deeper into the site’s private beta, offering a fuller review here. Many of the changes that Seekler has made since I last took a look in fact were in regards to some of my suggestions.Seekler now enables you to add descriptions for the lists you create, as well as tags. In an effort to keep Seekler simple in design and navigation, the description and tags are collapsible according to your personal preferences. This was a pretty important distinction for Seekler, as the inclusion of tags and descriptions lets users know that Seekler isn’t just a site for creating “top 10 lists.”

Other new features include the ability to control the number of items viewed on a page, and an associated URL button beside list descriptions in order to access outside information (i.e. a link to a movie trailer on the IMDB page for a film on your list). Another interesting improvement made to Seekler is the inclusion of lists that are found on third-party sites. This is a feature often found on other review sites that are typically specific to product reviews.

’s this weighted crowd-sourcing approach that validates the information found on the primary site, by incorporating content found from elsewhere on the web, that’s been created by an authority on a particular subject. Combine this with user-generated content and Seekler’s wiki-like approach, and you’ve got a site that’s looking to incorporate as much content as possible in an easily searchable manner for visitors and contributors.

With the rising efforts for user-generated search engines, semantic search and Wikia’s own entrant into search engine territory, it’s difficult to imagine an aggregating resource tool that doesn’t apply all of these tools in order to make it searchable and easy to use for contributors. I still wouldn’t mind seeing the inclusion of multimedia as supplements for the online resource, as well as some additional automated tools for gathering, organizing and recommending information as well.

Big BillG finally makes his retirement from Microsoft official and goes to work on getting himself a Nobel Peace Prize. As a side note, just what do you buy someone like Bill Gates for a retirement gift? It’s not like a gold watch will really cut it. Anyway, back to the topic at hand - what happens next?

Well probably nothing and that is the problem. The fact is that Bill Gates hasn’t had much to do with Microsoft’s day to day operations for sometime; even though he is rumored to have stepped in on the Yahoo deal. In the area of software he might have been the company’s Chief Architect, but Ray Ozzie and Steven Sinosky have been dealing with that for some time. During this time, Microsoft’s stock value hasn’t gone up any appreciable amount, Vista is still a WinME wannabe and now they want to play in the computing cloud.

More than a few folks on the Web have wondered aloud recently if Steve Ballmer is even up to the task of running the company without Bill Gates in the background or if at this point we might even see Microsoft seriously consider splitting into separate companies. My feeling on the second is that while it might be a good idea, it is one that I just don’t see happening as long as Ballmer is at the helm. As to whether he is up to the job of singlehandedly steering Microsoft forward, he will probably have no problems as he is a corporate beast who works best with other corporations.

The problem I have with Ballmer being in charge is that I think this is the one single thing that will move the company to even more stagnant waters. He might put on a good show, what with throwing chairs around and ranting things like “developer, developer, developer,” but in my opinion it would have been better for the company if he was the one taking that long retirement walk today.
