Foursquare Cache on Phone

FQ_Cache

I was exploring the files on my Android HTC EVO phone today and stumbled on a folder that contained thumbnail photos of over 300 people from the Foursquare application. My guess is these are all the people who had checked-in to the same place I had. So that means there are people out there with MY photo on their phone. Google does like to collect and save personal data.

Didn't we look someone up at Riviera Club or KS on the photo cache?

I alway look up people who are checked in and who their friends are, but 350 seems like a lot. It's interesting to see all the profile photos people have. Funny, though, your picture is not one of them.

I've got hundreds of photos cached on an SD card. Some are other users, most are not. Just random images in my foursquare cache. There's even a photo of me from a location and time that I don't recall. I am perplexed by this image. Who took it? Where was it taken? Why is it in my foursquare cache? Help!!
