Now that it's possible to retrieve and broadcast information about people publicly, it seems like the focus becomes on making it more appropriate. One example is a project from researchers at Motorola (http://web.mit.edu/bentley/www/papers/paper724-bentley.pdf) where they built a prototype that would broadcast the amount of time they are in motion vs static (based on the changes in cell towers). The information can be public, but will only have meaning to those that are close to that person and can fill in the blanks. That decision of how much information to show and to whom, in an age where the resolution of information is getting higher and higher definitely seems like rich ground for exploration.
