But I guess I just feel like…what? I guess I just feel like why bother standing anywhere if programmatically notifying the API of a web server about it doesn’t inevitably lead to one of the computers eventually rewarding my careful standing-reportage by conferring the prestige, gratitude, and—yes—basic fucking human decency and respect that can only be accorded by triggering a ruby script that alters a small graphic on my phone.
Candidly? It almost makes me question the value of bothering to report what I’m standing near at all. It really does.
I’ve noticed a lot of friends lately, checking in at the local supermarkets and shopping malls. And all I can think is “I don’t get FourSquare and Gowalla. And I’m fairly certain they don’t either.”
