"Our social networks are not Facebook," says Nadav Aharony, an�Android project manager�and one of the six winners of the Knight Foundation's $1.3 million in grants for media innovation. Instead of intentional online connections, his�startup, Behavio, looks at how peoples' location, network of phone contacts, physical proximity, and movement throughout the day can help us predict range of behaviors -- anything from fitness to app downloads to mass protests. The entire big-data mobile smorgasbord is based on an open source project he helped built at the MIT Media Lab,
Funf, a public database of android-friendly software for turning cell phone toting-humans into willing lab rats of social experimentation.
