So fourSquare and other geo-locating apps are growing in popularity but what does it really mean? For all intents and purposes, i get it... show people cool places you've been to and your daily habits. Sounds familiar? Oh yea, stalking 101. Track your prey and learn their habits. Well that is just my take on the subject, and as you might have guessed, i dont geolocate myself. I know where i am and people who need to know, might know too! I'm sure it wont be long before 4Square user's homes are robbed clean and have no idea how the thieves could be so bold during a Saturday Afternoon, forgetting of course you checked in at Disney World for a full day of activities followed by another check-in at a bar near by  afterwards to relax for a few hours.  lol

I do think geography is important, especially if you like to travel and explore the world and its' various cultures. It won't make much of a difference in anyone's life but i feel it's nice to know where someone is talking about in passing. This game, by travelpod is highly addictive and gives you a chance to flex your brain muscles. You might even learn a few new places while you're playing! So the next time you happen to be watching CNN or BBC, you will actually know that Iraq and Iran are two different places lol
