Comments on: Fear of geek robbers http://www.dbthomas.com/2010/02/20/fear-of-geek-robbers/ enterprise social media marketing, plus being a dad who loves tech, cooking and music Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:20:00 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris Hemedinger http://www.dbthomas.com/2010/02/20/fear-of-geek-robbers/comment-page-1/#comment-1400 Chris Hemedinger Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:05:04 +0000 http://dbthomas.com/blog/?p=1073#comment-1400 I just began playing with foursquare, which was by default linked to my Twitter account. I think foursquare and TriOut could be fun, but I don't want to pollute my Twitter stream with the reverse-stalker updates. So I now I know to "unlink" Twitter, and only bona fide foursquare friends will see my updates. But I'm not worried about the pleaserobme.com effect. Such an alarmist response to location-based app can play on your emotions, but if you think about it, its extremely unlikely that I'll be burgled because I tweeted my absence.

I worry more about the people offline nearby than geeks on the social web looking at check-ins. Wayne Good advice and points Dave.
