Yes, it’s that time once again, folks — time for the Friday Poll ! This week we want to get a sense of how Mashable readers are reacting to all the services and features coming online that allow us to share our location information, from Foursquare, Gowalla, and Loopt to geolocation features in services like Twitter and Google Buzz. With sites like Please Rob Me springing up to remind us all of the potential perils that might befall us as we start broadcasting our locations publicly and semi-publicly, it’s a good time to take stock of where Mashable readers fall on the spectrum. Are you worried about how location check-in services could impact your privacy and safety?
