I don't care where you are right now
April 20, 2010
I don’t care where you are right now. I really don’t.
I don’t want to stalk you, either, so knowing that you keep checking into a handful of places is not on my agenda. A few marketers may be very happy to know that, but do you really want them to know that you keep going to that lovely italian restaurant every tuesday before going to the movies?
I don’t care where you are right now, because I’m not there, and if I were, I’d want a smarter, less loud and noisy and crass way for the two of us to have a chance encounter. I don’t want to witness you flashing your underwear – repeatedly; but I do like the idea of a serendipity engine.
I want foursquare to be bought out and become semi-abandonware, and I want dopplr to thrive. Not the other way around.
