Facebook just bought itself an exercise app.
It has snapped up Moves, a popular exercise app and pedometer. The app will
live on, according to a blog post from Moves maker ProtoGeo Oy, a Finnish
company founded in 2012.

For those of you that use the Moves app – the Moves experience will
continue to operate as a standalone app, and there are no plans to change
that or commingle data with Facebook.
While the app will continue to operate as the team joins Facebook, ProtoGeo
Oy’s announcement suggests that the team will also focus on existing
Facebook services:
Now, we’re joining Facebook’s talented team to work on building and
improving their products and services with a shared mission of supporting
simple, efficient tools for more than a billion people.
Moves competes with numerous similar services, including Human. Among all of
these passive activity tracking apps, the goal is to lower the barrier to
entry for a healthy lifestyle.
Fitness startup RunKeeper also recently entered the passive tracking space
with the release of Breeze for iPhone. As we said in our review, Breeze
tracks your steps and offers healthy living advice accordingly. |
