Comment on Facebook checks in

Whereas I might now and then decide to share my location via services like Foursquare, I will NEVER share it on Facebook.

I just can't trust them. They've proven it over and over.

So I have to be extremely selective with what I share there, and outright lie in some cases.

It's a dysfunctional relationship, and it won't last.

They're in for crash.

To state what's kind of the refrain of Silicon Valley, you are not their target audience.

Silicon Valley needs to get out of its bubble, then. This sort of talk is spreading in places you wouldn't expect. I've seen it in totally non-technical communities all over the internet.

Yup, my not very techie friends, and their friend, seem to be the most bothered.

More likely they are in for a minor user backlash.
