Bliin is a new site said to be threatening the social network sites MySpace, Bibo and Facebook. It was set up in January in the Netherlands and this week has come to Britian. It is based on satellite tracking so that you can track your friends wherever they are in the world on google maps. The only requirement is that you have GPS on your phone or computer. My initial response to this new type of social interaction was that of nervousness, will this mean that everyone will know where I am all the time? Thus meaning I have no privacy. However as with all such sites there are degrees of privacy settings that can be employed. So maybe this is the future, instantly messaging people around the world, sending photos and letting them know where you are all the time.However for the moment I will be sticking to facebook, at least then I can choose to tell people im avoiding them!

In a way looking on peoples' profiles on facebook to see what there doing to me is a type of stalking! its been on the news recently about facebook saying its a way in for peodophiles and stalkers to get attached to people and get invloved in peoples lives even if they do not know them! its a scary thought that there are so many weirdos out there!!! beware check who your friends with on facebook and don't accept anyone who you are unsure of!
