I see a lot of people checking in to a location that they were already checked in to. I suspect this means they check in in the morning, go to lunch, and then check in again when they get back from wherever they went to lunch.

Seems like a good idea to let people "check out" of a location, if they know they're going to be gone for an extended period but not check in to a new location during that absence. This way, I don't show up somewhere, expecting to see someone who isn't actually there, despite being checked-in.

I have two ideas for you're already awesome service:) 1. It would be great to have a "check-out" option. When I leave a place, I may not get to the next location for a while, and I'd like folks to know that I'm not at the last location anymore. 2. I would like to have an additional level of privacy for my home address. Basically, if I could just have home address be set to always private, but still say "home" that would be awesome.
