Geo Location is hot because it makes a more personal feel to a small niche community.

That's why I think PleaseRobMe is just silly, more of a gimmick than anything. Facebook Beacon was very very poorly implemented, there is a story about some guy's girlfriend finding out he was going to propose to her by seeing the engagement ring purchase in his Facebook feed. I'm pretty excited to see what Blippy and Swipely have in store - some very cool ideas. Haha yes, I don't think anyone is actually at risk from using Foursquare or Gowalla either.

Isn't that the point? I think it's hard to post from you favorite restaurant and still be home at the same time so its the risk you take. I hardly thing that there are robbers out there surfing gowalla just waiting for people to post so that they can go rob their house. If that were the case I woulda ransacked AJ and Gary's joint when they were at the diner the other day! LOL. Pleaserobme shouldn't be more concerned for people's houses than the actual people are! Shees. I do believe there were privacy issues with Facebook Beacon though. I also don't like that when I google my name now its more than just restaurants and books. Now I see posts I make on facebook. I don't like it but at least I know ahead of time, that that's the risk I'm taking so I (most of the time) think before I type. I also agree that there is tremendous upside potential for Blippy and possibly Swipely. Don't know enough about Swipely Yet. Personally, I'd use these sharing sites only to post when I buy toiliet paper, tampons, rubbers and genital herpes cream. Just for shits n giggles. We gotta get more people posting comments for you dude. I'm gonna retweet and spread the word about you. Be well.
