Let's Stalk People

It's getting easier and easier to stalk people, using the miracle of social networking sites.  Sites like Foursquare and Yelp let you actually check into places as you arrive, so complete strangers on the net know exactly where you are.  The website pleaserobme.com helps home burglars find out when people in their city are away from their homes.  Lets use these sites to follow people around their cities and pester them with phone calls when they arrive.  It'll be hilarious!

I'll modify this post soon to contain a few basic rules, since this is a public forum.  Rules like not threatening people or faking serious emergencies to get their attention.  And not to stalk them for realz.  But here are some web sites to get us started.

Please Rob Me Twitter results from Foursquare, showing when people leave and where they're going.

Foursquare Lets you check into places when you arrive, so that you can feel important about your busy social life.

Twitter Search This Twitter search shows you basically the same thing you see on pleaserobme.com.

Yelp A popular business review site which now also features check ins.

Make a new thread in this board for each person you stalk.  If that gets out of hand, we'll figure out a different way to organize it.  It would be cool to include a phone call with your stalking, but I guess a transcript would work too.  Most Twitterers are such attention whores that they'll post about being stalked too.  Or they might Facebook it, so check their Facebooks too and post their reactions in the thread you create.

GO!  (I'm going to try and do a few right now and I'll post them soon.)

Wow Jenn.  That is nuts.  This is going to be a fun project.

https://www.loopt.com/ is another foursquare-like service.  I bet a search on twitter for "loopt" would find more people checking in.  Not that there aren't more than enough already with foursquare.
