and here's the smarter answer from @tolar: Geofencing typically relies on cell tower changes, a coarser measure of location than GPS, but one that saves on battery life.

I've been using it for the last few weeks and it's really not bad. Eager to hear your experience with it — jake [at] news.me

Cool idea. For now we just support one location, but you can make that location whatever you want (home, office, etc.)
