This time crunch is going to be a huge roadblock. As everything streamlines more and more there is exponentially more traffic coming in. I'm interested in hearing more about how the DB strain is going to be addressed.

Is anyone going to state out the obvious regarding Zynga games being a waste of time. What if they made a Zynga app that taught people how to code or implement course lectures in a game like environment which can be turned into a Zynga game?

With respect to the conversation about "seconds vs. microseconds" for processing, wouldn't the common sense solution be that the geo-fencing be distorted as a function of velocity and path to provide more time for database query, analysis and transmission?
That is ...
... (v) identify the velocity (which is done by the phone via an accelerometer or GPS system)
... (p) mediate position against a map (which provides context (80 mph on a rail will limit the options provided to only rail stations vs. 80 mph in a car which has multiple freeway exits) → this may also check vs. traffic patterns as cadence affects true velocity
... (t) select an arbitrary ETA pre-warning (5 to 15 minutes to offer a person time to make a decision)Then the geo-fencing stretch is just a matter of multiplying (v) times (t) from a distance projecting from (p) of the device holder.
Granted, distortions could be created if the device learned that some "likes" are stronger than others. Ex: there may be a pronounced overshoot of 100 yards if there is a Starbucks past the destination point if the user has designated multiple check-in's to Starbucks via Foursquare.
