I dont understand why they would drop out of school for this. Seems like its been done before and the appeal is supposed to be that it doesnt drain your battery as fast ? I think they need some new features or something to pull people from Loopt, Tagged, etc. I dont see why they couldnt do this while in school. To each their own though
