I'm feeling obliged to rehash a quote from the early days of the Internet, when midi support was added: "If I wanted your web site to make sounds, I'd rub my finger on the screen"

Behind that flippant response lies a core principle. A computer is a tool. It should act on the request of the human using it, not by itself.

Scheduled prompts: Awesome. Daily nag screens to hook up more data sources: Not awesome.

(Also, from a practical POV: So they plan on creating a recommender engine to sell ads and media, I guess. Weehee. More garbage)
