FB is the only social service not dropping the ball on users' current location

>This post was written by Tripl’s CEO Peter Sullivan

That sets a certain expectation in my mind for what I'm about to read.

>we are location 'whores'

Interesting word choice

>First the first time ever

Simple mistake

>Users’ current location is a great way to gather proper metrics, segment advertisement, and A/B test on different regions, however most of these services aren’t connecting the user’s location to an object or indexing it with structure.

Run-on

>Its something

Should be It's

...

I'm done.

I'm glad I saw this comment on here. I was thinking the same thing. Why did they make it over obvious (at the beginning of the article) that the author was the CEO? Why not just a simple tagline at the end or put that whole block of text at the end of the article. By making it such a big deal at the beginning, like they did, I did exactly what you did. I scrutinized the article much more, naturally, because I figure it had more importance since it was such a big deal that it was "written by the CEO".

Sounds like a CEO who needs to be reminded that he's also the janitor.
