A developer figured out that Foursquare had a privacy leak because of how it published user check-ins on web pages for each location. Employers are increasingly asking applicants for jobs to submit their user credentials or asking to watch while applicants peruse their own social media account. Facebook will allow high profile members to verify their account and begin using nicknames or pseduonym to identify themselves. The new feature will allow celebrities and other Facebook VIPs to get higher billing on Facebook and attract more followers.
