Creepy

Nick Bilton for The New York Times:

Girls Around Me uses Foursquare, the location-based mobile service, to determine your location. It then scans for women in the area who have recently checked-in on the service. Once you identify a woman you’d like to talk to, one that inevitably has no idea you’re snooping on her, you can connect to her through Facebook, see her full name, profile photos and send her a message.

C.R.E.E.P.Y.

  1. They seem rather open about what Facebook info they want access to. So if you say yes that’s on you. And is it any less creepy than the Foursquare app asking you to sign in via Facebook. If you choose to do it, that’s on you. 

  2. sure, it’s creepy when guys stalk girls, but I bet the all male version would be more popular than Grindr
