"Most of this data is already being collected about you anyway," Eagle said. "If you carry around a cell phone, we can look at how often you are home on a specific week."

WIth me, it would be how often I am at Disneyland.
But, the information gathered about my personal life is a bit uncomfortable for me. I can see the parinoia starting now.

Eagle is already in talks with a large networking company that is interested in handing out phones to its employees to learn how its organization really works, compared with how the company's organizational chart says it works.
Organizations could use the overview to understand how cliques form, what parts of the organization don't communicate with each other, and what effects, if any, attempts to change the organization actually have.

This application is fascinating. The REAL organizational structure of an organization. We all KNOW that most organizations - large or small - have both an official structure and the "applicapable" structure.
Information gleaned through this process can be applied to pinpoint problem areas, see the effect of implemented changes and make the organization stronger. I love this particular application. On a professional level, it seems much more palatable.
