Hi, all.
To further riff on this, I was just reading a pretty awesome
article from Science. The study explored, experimentally, the impact of being similar to others within a social network on it's impact in health adoption. The folks were matched only on age, gender, and BMI compared to a nonmatched group. The matched group over 7 weeks engaged in adoption of more health behaviors.
I'm curious if this might be a key design feature to help and design around, particularly related to posting weight information. Thoughts? Comments?
