Very nice job. I don't have a use for it since I'm not in London, but I like your implementation and design. A comparison feature would be nice, so if you're uncertain where you want to go one day, you can compare activity. You might also w

I also got this email. I suspected it due to the Gawker incident, although I wasn't sure. I wish they had been a little bit more specific. I also got the email from hint.io, but it was marked as spam by GMail. I was really glad when I found
