Facedeals - This Is Pretty Neat

I find this creepy, but then again I am almost 40. I am guessing anyone under mid-twenties would eat this up. They are used to putting all their activities and their location out for public knowledge, I am not. I would rather check in to a location to get a deal instead of having it automated.

It's opt-in though so you only do it if you want the discounts, you're comfortable with the location, etc.

Isn't that the same question for Facebook? ;) Except a billion times bigger and more important than this little app?

Oh yeah absolutely. Once you opened the pandora's box it impossible to close it. All of the social networks have the same issue.

It would seem to make sense that a police department had similar facial recognition technology linked to a database (mugshots?) so that when a person entered the precinct, district station, etc. the officer could be notified that they had outstanding warrants, had a history of violence or was a person of interest in a crime. Recall the violence in a Detroit police precinct.
