I've never used Gowalla, but I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter that peoples' "stuff" has disappeared. What's happened there?

I assume that means the "items" you used to pick up at various locations. They've killed off that whole concept, which used to be novel, but new people probably wondered what was up with getting a "Baseball bat" when you check-in somewhere.

IIRC Josh Williams said that only a small small percentage of people actually used them.

Which is not necessarily true...

It is completely true, less than 1 percent of all users were the users who were actively using/dropping/collecting items.
