I may get a couple down votes for this, but I don't think the developer is doing anything wrong or creepy.

I was at a mall in Bangkok today and I opened up Foursquare today (the first time in a crowded venue for me). I scrolled thru, saw a female, and clicked thru to her Facebook profile.

Girls Around Me, while tacky, isn't that different. If I were a stalker it would be useless, I'd have to use the Foursquare app instead, because Girls Around Me doesn't let me follow individual users... Foursquare does that.

I feel like this is just the app that is saying what everyone knows - social networking can easily be creepy.

Also - it was a lot easier in this mall to find girls by walking around and looking at them. I have a feeling if I were a predator this is probably what I'd do. The information about their location is in real time and they can't opt out or choose to make it visible to friends only. They're in public, and if they chose to share this info on Foursquare it's even more public.
