I find it a fun way to keep track of where I go and I almost see it as a game. I'll try to find new places to go to get more points and more "mayorships" but after that, I don't see the point. I don't have the app linked to my Twitter or Facebook accounts because why in the hell would somebody care where I had lunch? And in all honesty, even if I was alone and did 4sq where I was having a meal, logistically, nobody would ever say "Oh, I'm in the neighborhood, I'll meet you there." By the time you check the tweet or status update, lunch is already going down the drain!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3604147601973013359.post-28108893087782186812010-09-19T20:31:53.663+01:002010-09-19T20:31:53.663+01:00I did think about the advertising potential of 4Sq...I did think about the advertising potential of 4Sq etc. These companies will be able to create huge databases of where people like to go, eat, shop etc. That will be very valuable to them & we're doing all of the work for them.

Otherwise, I really don't care that you had lunch at Burger King again, unless something unusual and exciting happened while you were there.<br /><br />There's also a (again limited) point to 4squaring privately (checking in, but not posting publicly) to keep a record of restaurants you like, etc., and to qualify for bonuses or premiums from some of those businesses you frequent.<br /><br />But, back to facebook... Be certain that you're not accidentally using facebook places: There are two or three things you need to check in your privacy settings - turning places off, not allowing others to "check you in," and I think one other setting... go to your privacy panel and read very carefully...Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.com
