Geo-tagging your photos is kinda cool, and it's a feature that I would find interesting if I had a device that supported it, but I would make _sure_ to strip those tags before publishing the photos anywhere.
Startup idea: Strip.py?
>>Strip.py
Write in Erlang. Surprisingly, Strip.er and Stripp.er are free...
Eritrea is an unusually disgusting dictatorship afaik, so they'll probably be happy to sell domain names (along with body parts of people with the wrong opinions). Lots of English words end in 'er', right? Another business idea -- offer to administer the top domain.

Yeap, it gets like this for users with many (>5000) tweets, a big number of which contains some link to image hosting services or foursquare . I guess that the amount of retrieved locations will make up for the wait.

which is a supremely optimistic assessment :-)
Well, Firesheep got an NYT article, who knows! :)
although I share your hope that people would think more about the implications of their online actions, I'm way more pessimistic even if this is covered in popular main stream media. the numer of people really thinking about such things out of the very few actually reading this in the media, I sadly suppose, is/would be insignificantly low.

I don't think they're for sale, actually.

Well, it does other stuff like mine pictures for meta tags, the privacy implications of which wouldn't be obvious to a non-techie.
And I doubt most people realise; Twitters tweet location * Coordinates when tweet was posted from mobile device [side note: is this feature 'enabled' by default on some mobile clients?] * Place (geographical name) derived from users ip when posting on twitter's web interface. Place gets translated into coordinates using geonames.com * Bounding Box derived from users ip when posting on twitter's web interface. The les…
is this feature 'enabled' by default on some mobile clients?
Pretty sure it's disabled by default on the official android client, but I'm sure somewhere there's some client that has it always on.

Would make a good Mac App Store ... app. And, perhaps, web service.
After all, privacy is the new green. On the other hand, you'll need to educate people about the dangers of meta-data, before you can attract them to use your product.

I get the same for people with Running it on Windows 7.
I wouldn't be surprised if the error is with Twitter.

#29Unrelated, but I've been noticing that sites like whitepages.com and LookupAnyone.com seem to be showing up higher in Google and many have people's home addresses displayed for free. I saw one that seemed to list almost all of the 12 or so addresses I've lived at in the last 15 years, plus a map with a pin at my current address, and a list of all of my immediate family members. This is all data (theoretically) gathered from publicly available records.
If anyone wants to stop by, just call first. I'm sure my number is on those sites as well. :) Makes me feel like signing up for Facebook.

I keep getting errors.
