Not having a pattern (or more exactly having an anti-pattern) can also be encouraging. For example, the data can help me to control and remove as much as possible the routine in my actions.

The low cost of getting data (minimal action or no action) with contextualization of these data with different types of shapes, graphs, even poetry makes them interesting. If our effort is too high, we stop doing it.

On a more personal note, I really hate sharing these “stories-data” without my initial consent. All these services are like an invisible person in the room listening my conversation with these data. I like GPS (location broadcasting information system) because it is anonymous. I don’t like cellphone towers (identified localization system). They offer the same service, location, but the nature of collecting data is completely different.
