Using GPS chips embedded in your smartphone and latitude/longitude addresses, it is fairly easy for me to log into an app such as Foursquare , Loopt , or Google Latitude and (if your privacy settings allow me to) see who is proximate to my location. This privacy intrusion is why I deleted my Foursquare account two years ago.

I saw that you checked in there on Foursquare, Shea,” he said. I’ve read articles about burglaries and stalking thanks to Foursquare, but because I only occasionally link my check-ins with tweets, I figured I was being responsible. You probably shouldn’t be telling people where you are on Foursquare, should you, Shea?”

I wanted to create new social networking channels on some of the leading platforms and watch them grow. Put the "social" back in social media. I realized that instead of creating new social networking channels, it made more sense to leverage my existing channels. My motivations were honorable.

Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, LinkedIn, MySpace, Foursquare… These are examples of social networking sites, but you knew that. You can have your diary sitting right next to your social media application right there on screen, so you can easily contact friends and family and arrange to meet up. Of course you are!

Who could predict the rationale for deleting my Foursquare account would cause the largest spike in this blog’s history of daily readership? You can see the Foursquare article is responsible for the mountain. Keep in mind that these are overall blog visitors, not specific to the Foursquare article. Thursday – 650.

Of the three largest social networking sites in the United States, I plan to use Facebook the most, LinkedIn the second-most, and Twitter the least. I continue to use Foursquare, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, Yelp, and other platforms. That is the order of my priorities in 2013. Facebook in 2013. Concluding Thoughts.
