Will Location Kill Gossip?
Let’s assume that every bit of content in the future will be easily geo-tagged. That means it will be easily searchable. In turn, messages like the above from Twitter, will be quite easily discovered by the people who are being discussed.
Does that mean gossip will die? Unlikely, but it’s bound to change how people go about it. For most people, having an idea of who is listening alters what they say.
David Stuart gets to the crux of the issue:
“Whilst these comments have always been shared amongst friends, they have never been made so publicly and permanently available.”
Rather than change their ways, users will likely require privacy settings that enable them to only reach their friends. Or, we’ll at least need methods to selectively remove our location.
Or maybe location will kill gossip. But I tend to put my money on technology adapting to users, rather than vice-versa, at least in the short term.
Hi, I'm Adam. I'm writing a book about developing maps on the web. This site is where I'll share the things I find and help you create your own maps. 
[...] Once geolocated tweets are commonplace (it’s coming soon), we’ll see even more of these sorts of apps. Knowing what’s going on in a country, city, or within a quarter mile will be a click away. How might that change how we interact? [...]
