If I wanted people to join me in whatever I'm currently doing, wouldn't I have already invited them?

There really aren't that many times in my day where I'm in a "gee, I wish someone would show up and hang with me right now" place.

Is that what this is intended for (seems great for high school kids with no commitments on their time) or am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything.

Some of my Twitter friends say this very thing - "I'm here, anyone want to join me?" Not me so much, but others. I can dig it, I'm just not able to drive long distances to hang out on weekday evenings. The whole thing just makes me wish I lived closer to the action.

Well that sounds more than slightly painful.

Can you see where people are without them seeing where you are? Say, if you are trying to avoid someone.

I've been having fun with it. And, everyone else can see just how boring my day is.

I'm still not really getting it. I think this requires a really good mobile app and the Blackberry version is really pretty meh.

Which reminds, I have yet to check out the new Blackberry phone.

I think it's a good idea, but not entirely useful until there are lots of people using it... we'll see...
