I can't create an account because it uses Facebook, I'll wait for the next version.
This is a product for tracking everything you do, and tries to accomplish that by pulling data from other services that track everything you do. Is Facebook uniquely untrustworthy in this category?

It's taking a while to connect to everything, but I'm really pumped to see my data in this interface. I've been working on something similar — an automatic journal based on Moves/Instagram/Dropbox etc. One reason I'm scared to publish is data security — are you storing any of this data, or pulling from 4+ APIs every page load?
