Creepy schmap.me pitch almost invades personal space

I generally try to avoid clicking through any of the dozens of startup pitches from flacks that land on Valleywag's doorstep daily, but dirty-minded pervert that I am I figured schmap.me merited attention — after all, "schmap" rhymes with "fap," and who doesn't love to fap? Instead, I found I'd already had an account on the mapping service set up in my name. Clicking through, there was even an incorrect location entered, though it was coincidentally close enough to where I'm actually sitting that it freaked me out on first glance. "Any feedback as to how we could improve this free service would be much appreciated." How about not using my name and associating it with a location? Full pitch after the jump. It almost goes without saying that startup blog TechCrunch thinks it's "ingenious."
