Foursquare Check-in Etiquette

Foursquare Check-in Etiquette

By Hutch Carpenter on May 12, 2010

Anyone remember the early complaints about Twitter? That people were posting updates about what they’re eating for lunch? Robert Scoble noted this phenomenon in a blog post from last September about Twitter’s rise: It tells me that Twitter isn’t lame anymore. Remember those days when Twitter was for telling all your friends you were having […]

Facebook Big Mac Attack – Not For Me, Thanks. Top 10 Reasons to …

By Zoli Erdos on May 7, 2010

Oh, just what the Doctor has ordered: more junk food coming your way, left and right, from the social network that’s taking over the Internet: Facebook.  McDonald’s will be the first advertiser taking advantage of Facebook’s soon-t0-be-releasing location feature. The first reaction from most is this will kill leading location-based services: Hey Foursquare, Time To […]

How many times were you looking for the right hotel at the right price, close enough to your conference, customer or just a particular location?

What Enterprise 2.0 vendors can learn from FourSquare

What Enterprise 2.0 vendors can learn from FourSquare

By Mark Fidelman on March 9, 2010

It struck me in a lengthy discussion with an old CIO friend of mine this weekend at Big Bear Ski Resort.  As the great Mark Twain once said, “All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.” Brandon Matthias wasn’t aware of FourSquare or Gowalla or even Google Buzz.  Not surprising given […]

Google Buzz is Going after FourSquare and Gowalla! (Pics)

By Mark Fidelman on February 21, 2010

Further evidence that Buzz is going into the geo-targeting business.  For the first time, I was asked to make a recommendation about a location I was visiting.  I’d Buzz’d from here in the past but this was the first time I’d been asked directly.  Next step towards killing FourSquare and Gowalla are to add social […]

PleaseRobMe Is the Logical Extension of Our Worst Fears about Location-Based Services

By Hutch Carpenter on February 17, 2010

The rise of location-based social media holds a lot of promise and benefit for participants. But a legitimate concern about them is that they make it too easy to track where you are. For some people, that’s more information than they want out there. Well, three guys – Barry Borsboom, Frank Groeneveld, Boy van Amstel […]

Google Buzz Is New Black – Solving A Problem That Google Wave Could Not

By Chirag Mehta on February 9, 2010

Today Google announced Google Buzz. Watch the video: The chart below shows the spectacular adoption failure of Google Wave as a standalone product. This was predicted by a lot of people including myself. As Anil Dash puts it Google Wave does not help solve a “weekend-sized problem”.
