I liked your blog post though, it was funny and does bear some truth to it. But, for the most part, if someone wants to find and kill you, they are going to do it regardless of Foursquare. We basically live in public at this point and if someone doesn't know where you are via Foursquare, I am sure he/she can find you (or at least find places you like or things you like to do) via a myriad of other sources online.<br><br>Just my 2.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>@NickRovisa I'm so sick of this excuse.
