Every step you take, every move you make, it's watching you

WeChat's daily step-counting service is driving my girlfriend crazy.

Every night at 10:00 pm, the closing time of each day's count, she checks her tally on the social networking application that tells her whether she, or one of her cyber friends, has taken the most steps that day.

On Sunday night, after we had both completed an exhausting 5-km jog (5 is more than enough to drain me of breath), she was shocked to find she was still 300 steps short of the top spot.
