dingdingdang, it's not the first app to use geo-data and we agree the uptake is going to be super important (especially uptake in one geographical area). I do think FB and other companies at it's core care mostly about your social graph vs. we're more concerned about what strangers or friends around you are doing. Facebook has "nearby friends" for example but doesn't give you any info on people who have similar interests around you.

Also Twitter has Tweets near me... but its really hard to have a conversation on Twitter. I can retweet or tweet back at someone, but more than 3 people is hard
