Do you collect data about yourself?

I’ve written about the Quantified Self project plenty of times (group of empowered patients trying to live a healthy life via data collection and analysis), and now over at FlowingData blog, there is a great discussion about collecting data about ourselves. Author, Nathan Yau shared how data collection can become fun and a vital part of our lives.

On your.flowingdata.com, you can collect your life data through a few simple steps on Twitter. One data point per tweet!

• Step 1. Follow @yfd on Twitter
• Step 2. Sign in to your.flowingdata with Twitter

Without using data analytics softwares and sites, it’s still easy to collect your blood sugar or blood pressure levels. FlowingData lets you visualize and analyze data as well.
