Peep in the News: Location Sharing and “Super-Sized” Mom
Posted by Hal
From the New York Times: an article on the rise of online location sharing. The new thing is Foursquare, which lets you check-in at a location and share with “friends”. That’s opposed to the Google Lattitude model which just constantly broadcasts your location once you’ve enabled the service on your smart phone. This phenomenon is, of course, an offshoot of Peep – these services are sold as lifestyle enhancers, basically a value added component to your social networking online persona. (Look for Facebook and Twitter to introduce location based services soon…) Yelp, for instance, is using it to give more validity to certain reviews – if you’ve “checked in” and proven you were there, your review is apparently going to have more credibility. In other words, pay more attention to this particular person: they’re really real and they’ve proved it.
Now let’s check in with Donna Simpson. An article on her (which is itself Peep since it has no other redeeming factor beyond providing us with entertainment based on someone else’s everyday life) documents the quest of this already very obese woman to reach 1,000 pounds. She’s already in the Guiness World Record books as “the world’s fattest mother.” My favourite peep detail: she finances her $750 a week grocery bill by eating fast food online in front of men with a plus-sized woman fetish.
Comes complete with nice Peep pic of mom using scooter to shop with her kid!

Location-based social networks like Yelp have been around for quite some time, however with internet giants like Google and Facebook getting into the arena, they have recently become the latest thing in the rapidly developing social media interaction. Location based social networking sites allow users to share their current location with their networks. They also write their reviews of the location they are in and share with their network. This could be a really powerful tool when leveraged in a way that keeps people coming back.sun protective clothing
