The friend finder / check-in apps didn’t fail because the technology was too creepy, or too hard to use.

They failed because they solved a problem the vast majority of people do not have. Most people don’t want to serendipitously meet up with their Facebook/Foursquare/etc friends. Much less constantly broadcast their location (even rough location is revealing / creepy to broadcast).

Out of 100s of friends, not even one person I know uses a friend finder / check-in app. None are using Facebook/Nearby. Almost everyone I know uses Google Maps for traffic and directions, and Yelp for restaurants.

People use location based apps that provide immediate value:

“I’m late. How can I get to work 5 minutes faster?”.
“I’m hungry. What’s the best burrito within walking distance?”.
“I’m buzzed. Is there a DUI checkpoint on my way home?”

You may not have heard – they used Trapster! Friends in lead cars at various stages along the way spotted police on the road ahead. Guessing that’s how they leveraged Trapster (the friends would place the police reports in the app). If so, very interesting. Trapster was originally intended to be used this way – as a private system for groups of friends. It was later that I redesigned Trapster as a public system. In any case, awesome to see people still using Trapster after all these years!
