I like Strava. I use my Garmin device for tracking and load my data to Strava afterwards. It's fun seeing what all my friends are up to with their workouts.
It's my only form of social media. I don't facebook, or anything else, so this allows me to see what my friends have been up to when I miss a ride... I used to use it to track my commute routes as the City said they would buy the "heat map" data, but it's too onerous to track every single one of my movements.

But I agree, it's creepy to have someone you don't really "know" following you...

I like it just because it keeps me motivated when I see some progress. I don't get to ride all that much, so it's nice to keep track of when/where and how much I've been riding.

It's a great trail planning tool. My main beef is the lack in consistency of their images/date of image/zoom detail between the app and Web page. You'd think the Web page would offer the more detail/recent images but the app is way better.
