Swarm's New Update Works Great Without Friends. Foursquare’s Swarm 5. OS and coming soon to Android, has a cleaner look and better venue categorization. Most importantly, it downplays most of the social check- in app’s social elements and strengthens its solo benefits.

That’s great news, because Swarm might be more useful if you use it alone. The early promise of Foursquare (and its predecessor Dodgeball) was to help people meet up with their friends by selectively sharing their location. This would give people a sort of social radar that let them meet up ad hoc. Unlike Google Maps or Apple’s Find Friends, Swarm leaves the user in control of each check- in, making it less exhibitionist but also less frictionless. Yesterday Foursquare updated to allow your friends to check you in to places (with your.

But not even Facebook could convince people to report every time they showed up at a bar or restaurant. Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat adopted location tags too, but while this makes for excellent after- the- fact content aggregation, most people don’t use it frequently enough to enable serendipity- based drop- ins. Swarm’s social elements (like becoming “mayor” of your favorite venue or collecting points for weekly contests) aren’t that useful unless your friends are fellow diehards. As a longtime diehard (and acquaintance of Foursquare’s founders) I’ve seen fewer and fewer of the early core users check in, while newer friends have never joined.

The social panel of the app has become a ghost town populated by people I knew better in 2. Se Sport 200 Hydrofoil Installation Instructions. But that hasn’t discouraged me from checking in (which now often takes just a swipe and a tap from your lock screen). I’m not here for the points or even the casual hangouts; I’m here to keep a journal of where I’ve been, which I end up consulting several times a week.

Foursquare is fairly open about Swarm 5’s shift toward solo features. This was the focus for Swarm 5. The company still benefits as long as you’re providing it data, which it then sells to advertisers. According to Wired, “ad- targeting and other services allow the company to make money from a relatively small user base.” As usual, the service is free because you’re the product.

Or in another sense, you’re the free labor, and the database you’re building is the product. Not a bad trade- off. Swarm’s main display used to show where your friends had checked in. Now that display shares equal billing with a solo view, displaying a timeline and map of your past check- ins.

You can share this map, but more importantly, you can analyze it next time you’re trying to remember what you did Friday night, or returning to your old neighborhood and wondering what to eat. Your Swarm check- ins also help Foursquare customize your recommendations, which gives it an edge over Yelp, but you can already customize your recs by answering some questions about your tastes.

Check- ins also help your friends see your recommendations, but again, that doesn’t matter if your friends aren’t on it. That record of where you’ve been is still the killer app. Whenever you’re tired and you just want to go somewhere familiar, just open Foursquare and flick on the “You’ve been” filter. Every now and then, rate your past visits on Foursquare, and you’ll have a list of places you’ve “liked.” Now it’ll be easy to pick somewhere to meet up or to recommend to a visiting friend. All this takes minimal effort, and doesn’t require carefully curating lists, writing tips, or connecting with all your friends. And maybe you shouldn’t connect with your friends, even if you can. What will you get from their occasional check- ins, besides FOMO, meaningless likes, and annoying updates about competing for points?

There’s no shortage of things to be mad about in late capitalism. Pretty high on the list, though, is the Eat, Pray, Love brand of pseudoscience promoted by Gwyneth.

If Jeep Is Slowing Down, Everyone Is Fucked. Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know, whether you know that they’re what you need to know or not. Gear: It Feels Like Jeep Is The Only Thing Holding This House Up Anymore. Jeep sales have hit a lull this year, the Detroit Free Press reports, and that’s worrying, as in these days of cheap gas it feels like small SUVs and crossovers are the only things propping up the entire auto industry anymore. While I might be sweating bullets, FCA isn’t as worried. The company claims that this sales drop is expected, as they are at the tail end of a bunch of product cycles, as the Freep notes: Jeep also has a robust lineup of new products and key updates on the way over the next four years.

Those plans include: The Cherokee, which started rolling off the line last month in Belvidere, Ill., after production was moved from Toledo, is scheduled for a refresh in the first quarter of next year. An updated version of the Renegade in 2. The brand’s flagship model — Wrangler — is likely to be unveiled later this year at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

A Jeep pickup truck planned for 2. A new Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer in 2. All of those products should help Jeep to regain its momentum and grow for years to come. But given current market conditions, the size of Jeep’s sales decline and market share is hard to overlook. Any Minute.. I was sure that Dieselgate marked the end of any car company’s aspirations to sell new diesels, particularly in the United States, but I was wrong. Jeep is still going after EPA approval for American sales, as The Truth About Cars reports, citing an anonymous source who attended a private dealer meeting as told on the JL Wrangler Forums: The anonymous source claims the 2. Wrangler will debut without a compression ignition option.

Hardly a surprise, given the 3. Eco. Diesel V6 lack of environmental certification. FCA sold over 1. 00,0. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1. EPA and Justice Department’s bad books.

A “fixed” Eco. Diesel hasn’t yet been approved. However, it seems FCA remains confident the EPA will eventually go its way. The dealer source claims a diesel Wrangler should appear in late 2.

Gear: I Have No Idea How Big This German Price Fixing Scandal Will Get. I also have no idea how little it could end up being. Over the weekend we found out that Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes and BMW are all suspected for fixing prices together in a German auto industry kind of cartel. This would likely be the worlds most precise, moustachio’d cartel. Today’s news is that VW is apparently holding an emergency meeting to get its shit together, as Reuters reports: Volkswagen will hold a special supervisory board meeting on Wednesday to discuss allegations that German carmakers operated a wide- ranging cartel, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday. Larger tanks would have been more expensive, the magazine said.

Again, I have no idea how big this could get, but I also kind of get the vibe from the German government these days that they’d let things slide for their most internationally- respected industry. We’ll see. 4th Gear: Get Ready For The Impala To Die Again. We’ve reported before that sedans, particularly large sedans, constitute the saddest segment of the auto industry. Sales are so sad that, well, just don’t be surprised if the Chevy Impala dies again, at least going off of this report from Automotive News.

Sales are tanking. Production has slowed to a crawl. An average Chevy dealership now sees about one Impala customer every two months. You’re looking for an SUV,” . Even the Chevy SS, in all of its rear- drive, V8 glory, couldn’t ever sell well. Gear: Please Read This Story About Fisker Trying Again To Take On Tesla. Fisker is one of the more interesting companies in the car world, trying to make a luxury eco car in the right place at the right time and utterly, abjectly failing at it.

Fisker’s original collapse wasn’t all his own fault. If there’s ever a company that has gone kerblooey even when it has every reason to succeed, it’s Jeep.
