Public Sticky notes

The key to bringing runners onto the Web was the development in 2006 of a $29 Sport Kit sensor that, when synched with an iPod touch or nano, tracks runners' speed, mileage, and calories burned. When those runners dock their iPods, nikeplus.com launches, and the run data get uploaded. More important, the site is a virtual gathering place. Runners have collectively logged 93 million miles on nikeplus.com.
