I have a Pixelstick for sale if anyone is interested.
NomoRobo has been doing this for ages. Lots of companies do this already.

Awesome idea giving them crappy data. I do the same thing with loyalty programs. Someone has already registered XXX-555-1234 as a phone number in your area code. I like to think I'm adding a little bit of chaos to their data tracking.

You thought the real-estate was bad in SF now... we have AirBnB, Uber, Lyft and now Slack all going public in short order.

Twilio
Not anymore.
You can get all of this information from a phone number too.

Give it a try with your phone number. It'll provide your address (current and former), income bracket, relatives, siblings, children, etc, etc.

Guess what Facebook asks you to provide when initially setting up!?

Great job! Really enjoyed playing it. The controls are a bit tough... maybe because i'm using a trackpad on a mac.
