Creepers love that app

I was wondering why this app stopped working this morning.

I remember someone geotagged a parking lot at one of our facilities for geocaching, some geotaggers were denied entry by security, but I guess geocaching is a serious sport. They hopped over the outer fence to get to the parking lot (not the double fences topped with razor wire) and were caught by security, arrested and probably charged with federal trespassing charges.

Google released an entire game based on geotagging called Ingress. It's freaking genius.

I don't bother trying to understand how these apps work but aren't all these apps use geotagging? I thought tinder works where you select how far people are from you?

Anyway.....installing the app now to stalk @tpatt1100
