(∑ r_j) / 5,367 = 3.7 where the sum is from j = 1 to j = 5,367 and r_j = the rating of the jth voter

Husbandman helped me with this equation.  It's basically a fancy way of reporting an average score for the fit bit.

I'm reading about the fit bit because I kind of want one now.  KC has one so why shouldn't I?  Good friend Linda suggested I try out the free PACER app on my iPhone, but I don't really like having my iPhone clipped to my waist band.  For some reason that creeps me out.  Also, the PACER app did not get me to 10,000 steps today so I think there might be something wrong with it. The fit bit seems so pleasant sitting there on the wrist, just racking up the steps.

Sadly, there are a few issues keeping me from ordering the fit bit right here and right now.  First off, its ranking isn't stellar. On a fist of 5, fit bit got a 3.7 on the corporate cyberstore rankings.  Some of the reviews are not great and one reviewer called it a glorified albeit inaccurate pedometer. Second off, good friend Kathala's tech savvy Husb (Hi, RAY!) says that there's going to be a new product coming out in fall that will put the fit bit to shame. The future product will basically blow the fit bit out of the water, in so many words. Thirdly, the fit bit is a bit on the pricey side.

When all is said and done, I still want a fit bit now, rather than later.  I'm going to have to really think this through. Everyone has a fit bit but me and I'm sick of it.
