I think when you said <br />"The more you can use statistics in an engaging, fun way, the more equity you will build for your brand."<br />Sums up the point I was trying to make nicely. I hope more brands add value through statistics. Nike+ is a great example but I think their model can be emulated. I guarantee that more brands will realize the value of giving stats to your users. <br />-Marcus Seth, Awesome comments. I think when you said

I think a lot of times the details are glazed over as unimportant, but I love how a GPS will tell you what altitude you're at, or offer you little pieces of information that are just 'oh, thats cool' rather than absolutely necessary. <br /><br />In the many things we use, the technology is usually there, but not being used. I absolutely love how easy Nike+ turns their statistics into something enjoyable - I love seeing fellow runners tweet out the stats on their last run. In fact, I haven't considered Nike+ until now because of that. The more you can use statistics in an engaging, fun way, the more equity you will build for your brand. Interesting idea, Marcus.
