The weirdest thing I had happen so far was checking in (on Gowalla) at a restaurant while on vacation and seeing a checkin from the same guy that had also recently checked into our hotel. For a minute I thought it was a weird coincidence, but then I looked at all his recent checkins and he'd been checking into every single spot up and down the beach, about 30 in the past hour. The weird part is that he was actually in the restaurant. I almost said something to him about being an item-hunting scammer, but I let it go. It's weird how accustomed we've become to anonymity in modern times. Less than a hundred years ago, most people rarely went anywhere without being surrounded by people that knew them. There are still plenty of places where you could go walk into a bar on a Saturday night and 90% of the people know each other.
