I left off last time talking about how gamification and the Quantified Self -- the use of sensors and devices to gather and analyze as much personal numeric data as possible for new insights into the self--can help us have fun while getting closer to our ideal selves. Its time to explore how that last idea has evolved in the past few years and how savvy entrepreneurs are putting it to work. Each of us has that picture of who we want to be and where we want to go. This is the version of ourselves we want the world to see. Convincing others that there is no gap between that image and our real selves used to be the domain of public relations professionals and doting parents. But in this era of social networks and constant connectivity, we all take the reins of our own reputations.
