is one of the most popular social networking service
mobile applications which provides a personalized local search experience for
its users. The application purpose is to help the users to discover and share
information about attractions and businesses around their community circle. It has
an unique feature which is the ‘check in’ button, can let other users to check
it out the status you updated at the particular places, at the same time also
notify them where you are and what time you arrived. Over-sharing of individual
locations will lead to personal safety at risk and this may give chance for
strangers to stalk at an individual especially girls most recent hang out
locations. What can we do for this? Parents should always guide their children
by instilling the knowledge of avoiding surveillance. Perhaps, teenagers can
also utilize this feature before leaving as a sign of telling your friends you
have been there so as to avoid tracing by cyber-stalkers.
