After work today I grabbed a drink or four during a lovely happy hour event, which was then followed by a panel discussion that focused on venture capitalists and raising money for entrepreneurs.

So, tonight, of all the hundreds or perhaps thousands of people in this world that know me personally, perhaps only 3 knew of my whereabouts–one was someone who I was there with, and another I had met up with prior to going.

The third then, was in fact, Facebook, since I had RSVPed to the event via FB several hours earlier.

While listening to the panel then I habitually pulled out my camera phone and took a snap of the lovely audience, and proceeded to upload it to Facebook through its mobile uploads application.

I come home then to find Facebook notify me with an “auto tag request”, in which it requested to tag my photo with the name “Snap Chat - Finding Funding” as seen below.

At first I was all, omgwtfbbq, how did it know where I am? Was it smart enough to render the image and somehow track where I am, did it track the location of where the picture was taken and match it to the address, or does Facebook have a personal stalker for each of its 50 million users that keeps track of which events you attend?

A few seconds minutes later, the obvious dawned on me.

Duh.

I then proceeded to crawl into the nearest corner of my house while sucking on my thumb going “goo goo gah gah”.  It was just one of those moments..
