Default Car insurance based on facebook posts

The scheme is based around algorithms that have been developed by Admiral. The technology uses social data to make a personality assessment and then, judging against real claims data, analyse the risk of insuring the driver.

I wonder if this will take up...

First I saw of this was a news headline stating that Farcebook refused to share the info.

Just another reason not to waste your life on there.

Those 'cute' helpful apps from health providers, insurance companies aren't what they seem either, as they can geotag all your activity and movements.

Say you spend 5 hours per day at the pub, a health provider might consider this relevant to your next insurance premium?

Say you're consistently exceeding the speed limit (only by a few k's), do you think an insurance company might take that into consideration during your next insurance renewal?
