I will be adding to the current Foursquare page, specifically regarding the privacy issues concerning Foursquare and its users. I'm going to look at how Foursquare has increased the ability to Cyberstalk someone and the legal progress being done to protect its users. The wiki page is pretty much blank with information about its issues with privacy. I will look on how the common social networking sites (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc.) allow this service on their sites in this new "year of location" and the controversy that has come along with being able to find out who's at a certain location within seconds. One of the criticisms, according to Jason Stamper, editor of Computer Business Review, is "Foursquare's default position on privacy is that users must "opt-out" if they don't want any of their location-based details broadcast to friends and the wider world."

Check (as opposed to check plus or check minus). This sounds like a good idea, Hector. I would suggest that you definitely focus on finding more sources because if you want to convey that there are widespread suspicions concerning potential cyberstalking on foursquare it wouldn't be backed up in evidence if you only used one or two citations. Beyond that, I'd suggest you talk to the online or campus ambassadors so that you can have a conversation transcript and work with people who basically edit wikipedia every day of their lives.
