The thing is we’re already putting that info out there, so this is just looking at what you’ve already made public and doing something besides marketing with it. If you are creeped out it’s more a symptom of not realizing what is already public and that should give you something to look at as well.

or would you get weirded out by the level of information that these people had about you? Like when they said, “Hey Sean, people who like Pure Luck often buy cupcakes at Sticky Fingers bakery in Washington, DC where you’ll be next week.” That might be kind of weird. On the other hand, if you didn’t know about it, you might think it was cool but at what point does it get creepy like a weird stalker?

If it delivers information you want, when you want it (and maybe before you knew you wanted it), then it’s great. But it could be too much.

This is the ultimate tamagotchi mode for keeping in touch with your friends! Stop tweeting and get on a frickin’ plane already! You can meet up with your friend(s) or crush(es) and then do some gatehopping for fun after.

Hell, you could even expand this concept to hook people up! I have a track record of playing cupid so I would love to track which friends are having more than average communications with each other (as above through twittercloud/facebook wall posts/gifts) and use this service to ensure they are available to travel and then work out the deets. The service could send notifications to each party that a crush wants to meet them (kind of like dodgeball) & they could book it or I could have the opportunity to gift the flights it if I was really keen to get them together.

So many opportunities here…
