View submission: Hey Reddit, I'm Redditing from the Denver International Airport and I see a lot of people on laptops around using the free wifi. Just on the offchance, any fellow Redditors here?

this could be pretty easily abused, but somebody should come up with some sort of "reddittrack" system, wherein bored redditors in public places could ping some central server and trigger a beacon that beckons fellow redditors towards them.

could get stalkery, but also could be cool. maybe an Iphone app?

Something scraping destinations and stops off appropriate reddits like /r/MeatUp, /r/AirPork or /r/BaconTravel. If the vectors should happen to cross[1], it should show up as a blip on the screen for both parties.

Also: the name of the app also seems to be decided upon[2]...
