Do you also have a regular Facebook account?

Because it sounds like this could be tied to your mobile device, which means it uses the account you've conveniently provided in your OS profile, which would make this difficult...




I do, but I wouldn't want to pollute it with silly carrot-and-stick-derived check-ins. I'd probably just de-link my FB account on my phone and use the dummy account, then re-link later, depending on how hard up I was for internet access and the expected wait time.

Most people will just click "accept" without reading anything and status feeds will be flooded with check-ins.


That's an interesting point. I do not have a Facebook account, but I would consider making a fake one with fake name in order to use this.

I probably wouldn't bother at all if it meant I had to remain logged in or connected to Facebook on my device all the time though.
