    Default "Creepy" stalking app pulled; posted personal info

    The Girls Around Me app, which used Foursquare (and Facebook) data to automatically pinpoint the location of specific women near users, was blocked after a firestorm of criticism over user privacy.

    The popular check-in service said the app's access to its API was shut down because it violated its policy against aggregating user data across venues.

    Cree.py is the windows version of software that has been available to linux users for years.
    Cree.py failed to grow simply because it sucks compared to what you can do with open source linux software.
