My point (such as it was :-)) is that, for me, the connecting on the web thing doesn't much change the fact that most of what you're doing is just measuring the number of steps you take with varying degrees of accuracy. I can already do that with a pedometer or, under most circumstances, more accurately with a GPS. That said, I appreciate that a lot of folks find that they get a lot of incremental value out of the web-connected part whether for gamification or other reasons. And, hey, whatever encourages exercise and activity. I'm just not especially wired for that type of incentive.
