I know that is not the coolest app you will find, nor was that the goal, but it will probably be the first BizTalk Blog available for your band.

Microsoft Band helps you live healthier and achieve more by tracking your heart rate, exercise, calorie burn, sleep quality, and helps you be productive with email, text, and calendar alerts… and now also your favorite blog (or not).

I had (and still have) the original Microsoft Band but on my last trip to the United States, in which I attended another MVP Summit in Redmond, I decided to buy the new Microsoft Band 2 and while I was searching for new features and capabilities I found out that Microsoft had announced, more or less this last July, some new features and functionality for both the Microsoft Band and Microsoft Health, especially the Web Tiles. And with that, the capability for this device to receive glanceable information from nearly any source.

Discover the ultimate tracking companion for the Microsoft Band. Sandro Pereira highlights the “Microsoft Health” app (and associated tiles) as the must-have tool for health enthusiasts. The post explores how the app centralizes fitness data, provides detailed sleep analytics, and integrates seamlessly with the Band’s sensors to give users a comprehensive view of their physical well-being.

So, just for fun, I decided to play around with these features and create the SandroaspBizTalkBlog Web Tile, which will let you to “track” my blog from your new or old Microsoft Band.
