Foursquare should not define location sharing. Foursquare is simple one example of it and probably not even the most popular one since Facebook came out with Places. Places for the most part is pretty private. I'm on Places but not on Facebook. I love sharing my location!
My 50+ Mom LOVES that she can keep tabs on where her sons and daughter are even as they are spread out across the country!
Location-based stuff is exactly why my mom got on facebook. It's actually useful to her and makes us all feel more connected.
Of course there are privacy issues when anything revolutionary comes around. Overtime they are taken care of--partly with technology and partly with best-use practices.
