I don't believe it's just generational, but culture plays an important role in it. If a person's friends are over-sharers, chances are they themselves might be, too.
Personally, I never saw the advantage of location sharing. I like to know what my friends are up to and I like telling them what I'm doing, and there are many tools and sites for doing that. Why do people have to give their geo coordinates to some creepy service when they could just post "hey, i'm at pizza hut, everybody" on Twitter if the need arises?
- jfb 16y agoI think you're right about culture; also, there is a strong network effect to these services. The more your social circle uses them, the more benefit you will see from them. It's safe to say that my crowd just doesn't run with the over-sharing.
- wyclif 16y agoWhy do people have to give their geo coordinates to some creepy service when they could just post "hey, i'm at pizza hut, everybody" on Twitter if the need arises? Because there is more than one Pizza Hut?
- diN0bot 16y agoactually that is a benefit. your friends know which Pizza Hut you are referring to. no one else necessarily knows what country/state/city you're in (this may be pieceable together from other things you say, but that's quite different than easy lng/lat)
