ETA: They're rolling back the changes in response to the comments
WHY DO THEY THINK THESE THINGS ARE GOOD IDEAS TO START WITH, THOUGH?!
Seriously, LJ, explain this to me. WHY would you think that ANYONE would WANT such a feature, and why would you think it so strongly that you actually rolled out the feature a.s.a.p. rather than, say, bandying it about first to get some user opinions?
Maybe I'm missing something (possible; I am a non-FB, non-Twitter, non-iProduct-using LJ user, so I suspect I'm rather behind times/atypical), but seriously: do people really want other people on the Intarwebz to know where they are? Do people on the Intarwebz really want to know where random people happen to be when posting? What's the POINT?
