Knight Foundation Bets Mobile Sensor Startup, Behav.io, Is The Future of Journalism
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
“Our social networks are not Facebook,” says Nadav Aharony, an Android project manager and one of the six winners of the Knight Foundation’s $1.3 million in grants for media innovation. Instead of intentional online connections, his startup, Behav.io, looks at how peoples’ location, network of phone contacts, physical proximity, and movement throughout the day can help us predict range of behaviors — anything from fitness to app downloads to mass protests.
The entire big-data mobile smorgasbord is based on an open source project he helped built at the MIT Civic Media lab, Funf, a public database of android-friendly software for turning cell phone toting-humans into willing lab rates of social experimentation.
