- sbarre 13y agoDo you also have a regular Facebook account? Because it sounds like this could be tied to your mobile device, which means it uses the account you've conveniently provided in your OS profile, which would make this difficult...
- colinbartlett 13y agoThat's an interesting point. I do not have a Facebook account, but I would consider making a fake one with fake name in order to use this. I probably wouldn't bother at all if it meant I had to remain logged in or connected to Facebook on my device all the time though.
- RankingMember 13y agoI do, but I wouldn't want to pollute it with silly carrot-and-stick-derived check-ins. I'd probably just de-link my FB account on my phone and use the dummy account, then re-link later, depending on how hard up I was for internet access and the expected wait time. Most people will just click "accept" without reading anything and status feeds will be flooded with check-ins.
- mcpherrinm 13y agoThere is a "skip check in" link if you don't want to check in. Though it's unclear to me if you still need a Facebook account logged in.
- colinbartlett 13y ago"Skip Check In" will become the 2014 equivalent of 1999's "Skip Intro".
