Quicksand Fans

Was signing up for a Twitter account and came across this message under a box to check to approve locations sent with my tweets:

Ever had something you wanted to share ("fireworks!", "party!", "ice cream truck!", or "quicksand...") that would be better with a location? By turning on this feature, you can include location information like neighborhood, town, or exact point when you tweet.

Very interesting how they went from fireworks to Quicksand.

Any possibility there are references to those other things in your browsing history?

None what so ever. Every computer i've been on shows that exact message. I'm thinking its because of the whole location thing that Twitter does. That you can show your location when you post. So posting to beware of Quicksand.

It doesn't run off your browser history. But also the location thing is quite... broad. In England at least it posts your towns location and not your specific GPS location. So warning for quicksand here isn't possible!
