It seems there is a new app that is gaining popularity... Blendr is a "location-based app." (Interpretation-- it allows users to see the location of other users... up that is the physical location of the user.)
As you may have guessed, there is concern over predators using this to find victims... and there is some evidence that it has been used in this manner.
Seems to me we educators have a role in publicizing this so that parents and others know this capability is available.
Another story appeared on The Guardian's web site a few weeks ago.
