+ | get notified at random when checking in. | ||

+ | Even though we are not foursquare friends, the contact information is exposed. Most conviently | ||
+ | the twitter handle is exposed. A twitter account for this same bot could public-tweeet | ||

+ | client will pick up that tweet in search. |
