This past Thursday, members of the Social Expedition gathered over coffee and quiche-of-the-day for our casual monthly chat on media, social networks and technology. The hot topic this time was Android and a couple of its new applications. After a short foray into Twitter clients, we discussed Scvngr, a new Google-backed app for Android and iPhone. Like Foursquare, it’s a location-based check-in app, but with a little something extra. After you’ve checked-in, you can earn points by completing a challenge, like taking a photo or updating info about your location. By using this user-created content, Scvngr can build virtual tours and create guides to exploring your hometown or a vacation destination. It’s definitely up-and-coming, so keep an eye out for it and the 21-year-old creator, Seth Priebatsch.

Also, for those of you having trouble with your Droid battery dying too fast, try out the Advanced Task Killer Free application. It helps you close out of the applications you haven’t used in a while so your phone is using less power!

After few netbook recommendations, our views on gambling in Tunica, podcast talk, an explanation of the difference between torrents and regular downloads, we once again found ourselves in Facebook privacy discussion. It almost seems inevitable. Every news source in the country has been running articles on the issue for weeks now. Every word out of Mark Zuckerberg’s mouth is a new story. Every high-profile person who deletes their account gets media coverage. Congress is getting in on the action by trying to pass restrictive measures on Facebook, and now, one Twilight Camp participant revealed, there’s even going to be a Facebook movie!

Yes, in October of this year, Columbia Pictures will release The Social Network about the founding of Facebook. The script is written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing), and stars Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland, Zombieland) as Mark Zuckerberg and, get this, Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, founder of Napster and founding president of Facebook, Inc. None of the Facebook staff has been involved in the film production. It may not end up as a great movie, but it will certainly be interesting to watch the marketing for the film (and Facebook’s reaction) unfold.

In the meantime, though, if you’d like to show your anger with Facebook, visit FacebookFreeFriday.com. If the site can generate enough support to make a sizable dent in Facebook’s usage this weekend, maybe they’ll finally listen to the pleas of their users.

Don’t miss the next meet-up, which will be our Social Expedition Breakfast at the University of Memphis on June 2nd at 7:30 a.m. The speaker this month is Melissa Moon of WREG, and then as usual, we’ll have our Core Conversation to talk about whatever is on your mind in the social media world!
