An interesting location-based service I came across today is called Gowalla. It looks quite similar to FourSquare but I’ll give it a try over the next few days and see how it compares. The interesting dimension of these location based social networks is that they use gaming techniques to encourage people to check in wherever they are and share their location.
When using applications that broadcast your location you should always be aware of the risks of what you’re doing. But if you’re not afraid of being stalked, or don’t really need an insurance quote to figure out there’s nothing of value at home, then go ahead and play!
