Definitely. One reason why we created it was that even though Facebook and twitter can add location to posts, no one really uses it in the proper mindset. On facebook, you're constrained to your social graph. You can't try and seek out neighbors who live across the street that easily on FB or Twitter, but here it would be really simple to do.
