WSJ - Apr 1 - Location-based social network Foursquare Labs has cut off access to its technology for an app that made it possible for guys to pinpoint the location of nearby women on a map and view their personal data and photographs. Girls Around Me took information women made public about their location on Foursquare, paired it with photos and personal details those same women made public on Facebook, and then put it all together on a map to show names and faces of women near a user’s location. The women it tracked hadn’t opted into the service and weren’t made aware this was going on. More than 70K people downloaded Girls Around Me, the developer said.
