There is wrongness here

[eveglass]

I just found out that a bunch of people are tentatively planning to track each other at Pennsic parties... by posting to Twitter and Facebook from their cell phones.

Okay, I've got nothing against the modern world, and goodness knows I use modern technology at Pennsic. (I am a huge, huge supporter of my camp's propane-powered shower, for example, and definitely appreciate John lending me his cell phone every night so I can call Marc.)

That said, the idea of tracking other people at Pennsic by checking each other's Facebook status updates in real-time just seems really wrong somehow.

Comments, anyone? Am I alone in this?

We'll it would one system with 100% accuracy.

If you're on Twitter, you're not at Pennsic.

Regardless of your physical coordinates.

I like that phrasing.
