Are you worried about random stalkers? What would it take to get you to publish your location?
Now, you can use Facebook, Foursquare or one of the many other location based social networks to prove to people that you and your friend(s) do more than sit on your couch and watch Dancing with the Stars.
So why would anyone care? If you can get over the initial weirdness and paranoia, you might just create some wildly serendipitous results, helping you to connect with other forward thinking people and make powerful business connections. You might even score the most points or even become the mayor!
“The Mayor?” I hear you say? Yes, if you are one of the first 23 people to check in, you are eligible to win one of these fabulous prizes!
- A free piece of cheesecake
- A pair of Jimmy Choo Shoes
- An unsolicited movie recommendation
- And your own personal stalker in aisle four at the pet store
Sound strange? Or is this an opportunity to use technology to extend real connections with real human beings?
