FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by Techwriter10 …Karp [/URL]pretty much nailed my feelings about FourSquare announcements on Twitter the other day when he …found is services like [URL="http://foursquare.com/"]FourSquare[/URL] and [URL="http://gowalla.com…fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/bing-gets-new-features-including-foursquare-integration/2010-03-30"]Microsoft announced an… Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by markmayhew i'm beginning to use foursquare's "Shout" feature as a status updating/microblogging tool...it makes foursquare conversational http://twitter.com/markmayhew Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by zimmatore …the only one who is not familiar with FourSquare? I know buddies who love FourSquare and constantly blog or tweet about it… see the value. Can someone explain to me why this FourSquare is better than sliced bread?[/QUOTE] I can't say…, but I suppose it is a marketers dream because what foursquare gets out of it are consumer traffic patterns: who is… What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital Am I the only one who is not familiar with FourSquare? I know buddies who love FourSquare and constantly blog or tweet about it. I personally dont see the value. Can someone explain to me why this FourSquare is better than sliced bread?

Can someone explain to me why this FourSquare is better than sliced bread?[/QUOTE] I know I am… Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital Thanks for the explanation. I personally dont want people to know where I am at. I have had stalkers in the past and I do think this service can provide stalkers a form of map of places the victim frequents. Otherwise, from what you are saying, it sure seems FourSquare is a more interactive version than Yelp (which I am a huge fan of). Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by zimmatore … that the new version of Tweetie for iPhone now has FourSquare integration. Although all social media have marketing underpinning, this one… Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by jay 11 yea.. and on the flip side.. do your friends really care where you are all the time? Some might i guess. I dunno.. i've been waiting for the FourSquare movement to fizzle out for a few months now. Today i heard they just came out with a bunch more badges for their users to earn. Maybe they are getting desperate.. :) Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital This is a very interesting new light on this situation. I will now see FourSquare with a new perspective. Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by Techwriter10 Thanks, Mark. I haven't seen the service used in this fashion, although I have seen some folks using Gowalla in this way. It certainly raises its value if you can add comments over and above your location. As I say, I'm not a fan right now, but it doesn't mean I can't see that at some point it could have some practical application we are just not … Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by dankeldsen Ron - definitely a concern in oversharing exact location information, from a safety perspective, and I have to say it's worth thinking before you "check-in" with any of these services. Even though I'm an "ex-paranoid security guy" - I still play this type of personal information a bit close to the vest. There's definitely … Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by Techwriter10 Hi Dan: Thanks for commenting. I use the Around Me app and Yelp when I'm in a place where I don't know the area to find restaurants, pubs, coffee, breakfast and so forth and I've found this works really well, especially when there are user comments to help you decide where to go and what to avoid. I think these types of services have tremendous … Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by dankeldsen Ron - agree, the "real-time" updates as to where my friends/followers are isn't as interesting (unless I'm traveling, or it's a live conference and I'm trying to find where everyone is) as the "Long Tail" of the collected data, which supports finding "the best" restaurant, etc. nearby. From a business standpoint, if … Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital I agree with you. I do think that these services not only provide additional information about you and your whereabouts, but it will also be information that can be used by advertisers for relaly atargeted behavioral targeting. I also can see a smart stalker using such information to haunt somebody or a criminals sewing up crumbs of information for… Re: FourSquare: I Really Don't Care Where You Are 15 Years Ago by Techwriter10 InsightsDigital: That marketing info could work in our favor too, as in a restaurant knowing you're in the area and offer you special pricing or a free drink, but you're right there are a lot of privacy concerns associated with these services and it's really something we have to think about. Ron Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by mackone Agreed... I don’t see what the usefulness is in letting someone know where you are all the time... it seems like you’re just asking for trouble. Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital I totally agree. There is already too much information on us - imagine enabling additional information. No way! Re: What is FourSquare? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital I really dont want because we all know that in life, friends and lovers can become enemies one day. These type of tools are just becoming reservoir of information that can be used against you.
