I do get his point though, in technological age we are in will it make it easier for criminals?? I think it could. I always err to the cautious side...however you have some very valid points too. It's all a persons personal feelings on the matter, ones own comfort zone. In this case I can't say there is a right or wrong side. I certainly don't think social media is only to blame either. .-= Chrissy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WahmTalkRadioBlog/~3/Gf1yebztKt8/" rel="nofollow">A Thousand Words Thursday</a> =-.

If moms are truly concerned about the safety and well being of their kids and families I would think they would consider this..your chances of being robbed because you post to 4square or twitter are probably slim...so is being hit by a bus or being poisoned by tainted food...but why would you risk it? Just a question not a slam or unfriendly accusation. I for one travel quite a bit, but I never advertise when and how I'll be traveling or other info that would put my family into a situation otherwise unnecessary. Maybe that's just me. .-= deb@birdonawire´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lagniappemarketing/EAZZ/~3/Nd2BeXnfKqY/" rel="nofollow">Creamy Caramel Fudge</a> =-. not directed at you and not knocking being tech savvy…but why would one advertise to the world that they’re not at home, that their prized possessions, children and more are left at home with sitters or others.

I do not use Four Square (I still don't "get" it, but that's beside the point) simply because I don't have time, and I live in a very small town. When I am on Twitter, and I post "where" I am, it does not mean someone is not home; usually my husband is home with the girls, or my parents/in-laws are staying with my girls AT my house OR down the street in their home. I completely agree that if someone really wants your information, they're going to get it. That's all there is too it. It has nothing to do with someone's usage of social media. That being said, I think everyone should think twice before they hit the "send" button on anything that will be public on the internet. If you don't want it to be available to everyone, don't publish it. Once it is "out there" it is out there forever. I think most people who utilize social media get this point. Now, if someone is dumb enough to tweet their social security number, then they get what they deserve, right? ;) Is there a live interview of this somewhere?

You are absolutely right. I do not use Four Square (I still don’t “get” it, but that’s beside the point) simply because I don’t have time, and I live in a very small town.

The GPS feature is what helps find you so you can check in at local public places. The whole point of Four Square is to check into different places and earn badges. You also want to check into a place more than once and become the mayor. In ways of sorts you are competing against other people. However if you want to have private locations you can, you can also just title the name of a place without using location and not allow the GPS to publicly track. Such as a friend's home or your own personal home. I do not show the address of my home via the app. In small towns when not many people use the app then you are certain to get more points for being the founder of new locations. Also when you go out to eat somewhere public or to Walmart you could check in just for fun. Everyone sees you there anyways, LOL. However Four Square also does not automatically update twitter and facebook, you have to set it to. Some people use Four Square with only their private friends and family members to keep track of one another. You don't have to make it public. Hope that clears it up better. Brandy:

You see that is why I don't use Four Square - the way I thought you had explained it last night is that it doesn't have to show the GPS, but then the sentence above sounds like it does show location no matter what so you simply do not check into it when you don't want the location shown, am I understanding? That's what stinks about a lot of these apps, they are wonderful but living in a SMALL state and SMALL town they don't make it easy for me to use. Where as you live in a huge city and state, gosh your city probably has more people than our town, I could see it being a bit different. I am bummed about this, as now I will not be using Four Square in that way. I am all set on someone having my location out there which is why I try not to use anything that uses GPS. Obviously if someone wants to find you they will, but let's make them work a little bit at it ;-) Great post, and congrats on the interview!
