Checking in to different locations isn’t bad — you can win prizes, get great deals, and start your political career as the mayor of your local taco joint — but sometimes it gets out of hand. Ever sat down at a restaurant and struggled to make an initial decision not on what food you wanted off of the menu, but what photo you would take to check-in to all the different networks you frequented? That’s the No-Win Check-In. So many social networks to check into, so little time for anything else.

I just can't help thinking of the poor servers. They rely on a fairly quick turnover to make money from tips, and if people are too slow at their Foursquare and FB they're going cost them money. I know these media are a boon for small businesses, but I think it should be part of social media etiquette that if you're taking more time at a restaurant table to do your networking, you should tip accordingly. I think business owners should also consider how their campaigns could affect their service employees.
