The name of the app? "Hell Is Other People"
Brief description -
The app looks at your Foursquare friends' recent check-ins, calculates "optimal locations for avoiding them," and slaps everything onto a nice Google Maps interface. Follow its guidance while strolling through a city and you should be able to avoid familiar faces.

Hmmm...extreme introvert here, but I don't have a problem with friends. It's strangers/aquaintences that bother me.
Got an app for that? Oh yeah, it's called life
You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.

Introvert here too, Sazzy (been waiting to use that - so much better than Sad). Unfortunately, all the people I would want to avoid are Luddites and wouldn't know Foursquare if it smacked them in the face.

I don't know why you need an app, NIK. I'm usually at the g2gs.

I totally use FourSquare as where NOT to go tool.
I will probably be downloading this app later.

Yea I used to check and see where people cheating checked in and studiously avoided those places.

Unagie,
Please remember that Fun & Games is an infidelity-free zone.
Thank you. 
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

I used to get smacked in the face in foursquare all the time ...
Am I a Luddite?
