    Actually Pokemon Go seems a lot like golf, .. walk around randomly chasing different targets which you shoot a white ball at.

    There was a sign outside an optometrist.

    "If your pokemons are looking blurry let us have a Pikachu".

    How can I cash in on the craze? I heard that phone portable batteries are selling out because the gam is such a drain on the phone battery.

    Instead of being an Uber driver you could be a Ubermon driver where your drive a bus load of Pokemon GO players to all the best Pokestops. Like a party bus but a lot more nerdy! LOL

    People have time to run around and chase Pokemon, but won't devote the time to getting a job.. Slaves to the matrix and the next big electronic heroin fix..

    Place an add on Gumtree or Facebook & charge an hourly rate to walk around 'hatching eggs' and collecting items at Pokestops. You could take a whole load of phones with you at the one time. Combine it with dog walking.

    And do it in between Opal stops to get Opal users to their free ride limits sooner.

    Redfern Park was one of the hotspots for Pokemon. I was there on the weekend with my daughter.
    That park was normally quiet with few "locals" and their VB half sober. They were gobsmacked when they saw many pokemon zombies....

    My kids downloaded it yesterday, now I'm stopping the car so they can go into car parks and catch pokemons.

    Time to create alexamon and drive traffic to my business. Seriously what an awesome marketing tool. :D

    I believe cafes are using it to attract business. Combine it with free recharges and they're on a winner!

    I heard from someone I work with today who has contacts in the courts that the AFP are looking into the game as there is a way that peadofiles can download an app and track the movements day to day of specific users.. So can track the patterns and movements of one specific child in thier area for an opportunistic moment.

    The link is real and being monitored by AFP already..

    Disgusting if you ask me..
