24 things Week 12: Foursquare

After exploring Foursquare I opted out. First, I don’t have a cell phone with web access, that means all my check-ins would be via text message. That’s what I’ve been doing on twitter for years. For me earning virtual badges is not a compelling reason to change from twitter to foursquare. Second and more importantly is the privacy issue. This website explains and demonstrates the danger of publicly telling people where you are http://pleaserobme.com/why

Personally, I have no idea if Foursquare will be around in three years or if it will be yesterday news.

Reading Out Loud Adds Accessibility Option


I’m experimenting with a third party plug in called Odiogo. The service links to this blog and converts the posts into computer generated audio. You can listen to the posts by clicking the listen now button located just below the title of each post. If you use this feature please leave a comment and let me know what you think about it. Also I’d appreciate comments and suggestions on other ways I can make Reading Out Loud more accessible.
