I’ve recently begun using FourSquare, the location-based social media service which awards points, badges and mayorships based on the amount of times you visit, or “check in,” to a venue.
I’ll debate the merits of such a service in another post, but as annoying as some people think FourSquare is, I think we need more. I think we need something which describes our emotional location, not just our physical one. I call it…FiveSquare!
- @blloyd is checking in from the depths of meeting hell
- @angelrios is checking in from improper affection for a beverage
- @churchplanter is checking in from perverted emotional attachment to Sunday attendance
- @someone’s wife is checking in with no guilt from lying about having a headache
- @highschooler is checking in with an overinflated sense of self-importance
Think it could catch on?

This it will catch on? It already did! It’s called Twitter.

Wow. I really need to try proof-reading a bit more.
