Sharing apps such as Foursquare already let us share where we eat, drink and shop.

Now ‘I Just Made Love’ lets you log and GPS-tag your private life in just the same way – and, bizarrely, some people seem to want to.

The Android app has been downloaded 10,000 times, and rated five stars by dozens of users.

‘Did you just make love? Or just want to check where people near you made love?’ says the app.

‘I just made love lets you do all that and more!’

Reminds me of a song by the incomparable Jake Thackray:

Steve Jobs: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity

From here:

Steve Jobs pledged to use his ‘last dying breath’ destroying rival Google’s Android because he believed it was based on stolen iPhone technology.

[….]

‘I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,’ he said.

‘I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.’

Steve Jobs has had his “last dying breath” and I really hope he didn’t spend it fulminating about Android. Because, in the light of eternity, Jobs’ success, his brilliance at marketing gadgets, his wealth, power and the respect he attracted matters not one iota.
