Location Sharing Quotes

Google Maps are phenomenal. Yep, ask an Apple user.

Mobiles mean people know where you are.

I travel a lot for work and have people waiting outside my hotel or call my room constantly or show up at whatever restaurant I'm eating at because I Snapchatted. It is a little terrifying.

On mobile, knowing where your friends are at any time is actually a pretty important part of your mobile experience.

One of the biggest hurdles about Foursquare is you need to remember to use it.

The idea that your spouse or your parents don't know where you are at all times may be part of the past. Is that good or bad? Will that make for better marriages or worse marriages? I don't know.

If you really want to follow me and know what I'm doing, it's Instagram. You know which city I'm in and what I'm doing. It's almost in real time.
