Nike+ FuelBand has become social, thanks to the recent partnership between social networking-enabled photo sharing and messaging service Path and sportswear and equipment supplier Nike.

The integration will allow Nike+ FuelBand users to chart their movement and progress through the social network.

Path said its partnership with Nike will help users of the Nike+ FuelBand in getting assistance from their near and dear ones about meeting their NikeFuel score goals.

Announcing the partnership, Path wrote in a blog post, "At the end of your day, you will see a graph of progress against your goal and the Path moments that contributed to your progress."

Introduced in January this year, the Nike+ FuelBand is a personal accelerometer that measures the wearer's activities or movements in three dimensions.

The $150 Nike+ FuelBand fundamentally builds on the average pedometer, and can measure everything from basketball to breakdancing. But, it can not be used by swimmers to measure their activities in the water.

Nike is a major publicly traded clothing, sportswear, footwear, sports equipment producer head quartered in Oregon, the U. S.; while Path is a photo-sharing and messaging service for mobile device based in San Francisco, California.
