    I don't get the point. I guess it's a cool feature, but I also see it as another way for people to track you down. I'm sorry, but for me...TMI.

    I love it! We also love all the coupons you get from signing in. We don't publish our location to FB though and we never check in at home. :)

    I think these could be cool, but from a safety aspect, I don't think they are smart!

    Can you share your locations with only your friends so psychos can't "find" you.

    I don't usually check in, but I will for finding discounts/coupons if I need to.

    I check in a lot especially on Facebook. It's a fun way to let my friends know what's going on and see if they are close by!

    I would occasionally use it for checking in for places that did discounts but I have data blocked on my phone to avoid the extra costs so no, I do not use these services.
