Exactly! What happens when this gets into the wrong hands? What will companies do with the information if they are new to the space and not sure how to reach out to customers or negatives? It is a time when exposure is is great and as a marketer it is valuable but I really do not want to know everyone's exact location. It just becomes too much. It is just creepy to me, period. If I want to tell people where I am then that is my choice but when I am pinging from my house that to me is off limits.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated

Yes it is good for a business as you know who is coming to your establishment, know the good and the bad about what is being said and can react to it. I barely watch TV at this point as I get so much news online. When seeking additional coverage, the tv is my resource. It does take up space nicely in the living room and cuts down on the echo factor.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

It is creepy. I have a foursquare to see what it was about and do not check in. I think that this is the way that this will go but there will be limitations as we have to be certain that there will be problems with stalking and the like. Sadly that is the times we live in.

I have to agree with seanmcvey, for an individual it is creepy.. But for a business, this could be a goldmine. I love that you touch on the real time news and the way twitter has changed the way we receive news. I for one have cut down my tv time and increased my social sites time and still get all the news, local or worldwide.

Thanks again for such a great post and keeping us updated!

I don't know if I like that Twitter or any other program know where I am. That's why I have stayed away from programs like Foursqure. Is this not creepy to anyone else?

One can't help but wonder what all of this knowledge and accessibility will lead to beyond mktg. and sales aka fishing for new customers… What if, like the movies or worse, spam, all of your business (literally) fell into the wrong hands?

Strike a balance between the needful and the invasive is what I say. There is a price to pay for doing business at any cost and it's not pay-per-click advertising!
