If you RTFA, the patent was filed in February, 2007. Foursquare wasn't launched until March 2009 according to wiki. So at least in the case of Foursquare, I don't see how they can claim prior art. I'm pretty sure Google Latitude was launched in 2009 as well. I can't speak to other systems though.

Right, and isn't the default CustomerErrors setting in ASP.NET set to RemoteOnly? Meaning that that the exception & stack trace are only sent when you are browsing from localhost? If you were dumb enough to send full errors from a production system, then you deserve to have your application exploited by this.
