Facebook has a so called "check-in" feature which allows you to
report your current location from within the iPhone app and other applications. The presumed
positive side effect of this is to tell your friends where you are, find friends near
your location or discover the neighborhood.
Most people are probably only using the feature to brag about all the cool places they are checking
in.
All along Facebook is collecting information about to build a detailed movement profile which it can relate to its advertisers.
So why don't we just post random locations? Send tons of trash data and false information to Facebook? Why not brag about our nice lunch in Monaco and our dinner in New York? Of course you'll be at business meeting in Dubai tomorrow?
