The U.S. Army has recently released an important presentation on "Geotags and Location-Based Social Networking" that every soldier should read. The presentation warns against the dangers to OPSEC when telling everybody where you are by using location-based social networks such as Facebook Places and Foursquare, or by posting pics online with embeded gps info.
