Baby Telemetry

I used to be in the petrochemicals business and we used telemetry alot to manage supply and demand. In that context it was all about visibility into our customers business so that we could be proactive, and it worked well, and customers loved it.
So when I first came across The Trixie Update I was pretty impressed. It is a cool effort to track data related to the sleep, eat, poop patterns of a new born baby. That, and I was impressed that new parents would have the discipline to keep this up. The data is facinating, it’s baby telemetry.
So anyway, I was interested to note (via Matt Haughey) that the guy behind The Trixie Update, has released the The Trixie Tracker: Baby Tracking Software as a service.
It might sound kinda odd, but I am willing to bet that there’s enough nerdy parent types who’d be into this to make it succesful. And imagine if it did turn out to be popular, what an amazing data set they’d have, research as a service. IF we have another baby I’d signup for sure.
