I deleted my moves account last weekend and exported all my data, i dont trust facebook with all this data.. but then i logged in into google and saw this: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory Man man, what was i naive.

You know that's opt-in, right? And you can just click the gear or go here https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/settings and click "Disable" and then "Save".

I'm a sucker for this. I know I am a sucker, but I can't help myself. I've loved Move's visualizations since it was a random free app I downloaded and forgot about, and I've already spent far too long zooming in and out on this webmap.

Here's what it looks like with a year or so of use if anyone's wondering (you'll have to adjust the time slider at the top and check the transportation box to see it all): https://move-o-scope.halftone.co/vis/user/f74ec38e53e658a1cf...

This confirms what I already know: live in Seattle, and walk to one particular coffee shop a hell of a lot. Kinda makes me want to change things up a bit.

Also amusingly I haven't opened up Moves since before the Facebook acquisition; when I did, it put up a completely black screen with the word "Proceed" at the bottom. I assume this was supposed to be showing me the new terms and conditions but who knows?

I have knowingly tracked my location with Moves for the past year, but it is still very spooky to see all of that information on one map.

Well done though. Now we just need some kind of free/OSS clone of Moves so this is a little less unnerving.
