Five Funniest Media Stories - the Special Geo-Location Edition

(MoneyWatch)  As geo-location services like Foursquare find a place in the market, they are also getting funnier. That stands to reason, as the whole idea of constantly telling people where you are -- unless you're on parole -- is kind of amusing. Thus, BNET spotlights geo-location in this edition of the funniest media stories of the week (with a few extras because the rest of the media world remains funny as well).

1. Worried that your followers might stalk you? Me, too. Therefore, it's great that Foursquare, with the help of MTV Networks, has launched "celebrity mode," a way to share which allows you to decide whether you want to share your location with all of your followers -- or whether you want to let them know where you were, but are no longer. Kilroy would be pleased.
2. A woman's home gets robbed after she declares in a status update on her Facebook page that she is off to a concert. Video of the robbery indicates that the person who ripped her off was ... one of her Facebook friends. With friends like these ...
3. Spending too much quality time checking into various social services to tell everyone where you are? Then check out, Check.in, which promises it "takes the hassle out of checking in on multiple services." I'm hoping the market for this is really small.
4. Sarah Palin gets a reality series on TLC in which she'll highlight the wonder that is Alaska. I know she's a big name and all, but since she only has five kids, doesn't that disqualify her from having a show on the network?
5. Slate discovers that, via Google TV, anyone -- even them -- can buy an ad on Fox News.

Have a good weekend, and make sure not to tell anyone where you are.
