I love it.. Was able to help a couple of guys out who needed rebooking a few weeks ago in ATL. They did not have club access.

A friend and I were in San Francisco for Folsom St. West, staying at the Hilton. Grindr kept saying there was someone inches away from him, but it was just us in the room. It turned out that it was someone a few floors up. Let's just say that they had a Grindr success story.

We had some fun with Grindr at the SF Gayla the weekend before last on Saturday night. It's an interesting way to learn about some fellow FT'ers. lol

I think FT GLBT is going to suffer from inbreeding in the next generation....

I use it all the time. Kind of nice to see who's "on the team" AND close by. So far just use it to chat, but it is useful to see the sights around you... LOL

The pic-sending feature has been... well... intriguing.

I find the variations in population of Grindr user densities fascinating.

At home in Germany I'm usually the only person for 50km. Once in Chicago I connected to the WiFi and found out there was an orgy of 14 people in my hotel room...
