After having read the immensely resourceful book, The Facebook Effect , I’m starting to understand how our world is changing thanks to social networks.

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.

You are free to hide your profile from your friends so you can have some form of privacy. This app is powered using the social networking app Badoo that is made by the same people who created the gay-male dating app Grindr and requires you to pay a monthly or yearly subscription of around $70 for the whole year, or $40 for six months.
