I can see lots of great marketing value from a service like Foursquare and brands like Starbucks are already starting to offer discounts to Mayors. Here in the UK, it's disappointing how few PR agencies have woken up to location based networking's potential impact on campaigns.

So it's also a way to meet new friends, try new places and really enhance your social media party hopping options!

Happy trails.

I love Foursquare's geo-targeted communications. Where the Twitter stream has gotten unwieldy for some (though I'm still a fan for many reasons), Foursquare is laser-sharp.

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:13:21 +0000 http://www.360prblog.com/?p=1466#comment-12789 I'm new to FourSquare but am getting why it can be so addicting! I feel like I'm behind and have the desire to whip out my iphone and check in every single place I go. Sadly, not too many of my friends are using it, but I do see a lot of my Twitter followers stopping at places around Boston and now I have a list of restaurants to eat at and stores I want to check out!

I've been holding off on joining Foursquare because I assumed you needed an internet enabled phone to have it work correctly. Thanks for noting that Foursquare works via SMS too.

Like you, I'm also drinking the FourSquare Kool-Aid. I'm a newby but i've already unlocked a couple of badges and it's definitely pulling me in. Can't wait to see it increase in popularity. Like all social networks, it's much more fun the more people you can connect with! Great post, Cindy. Like you, I’m also drinking the FourSquare Kool-Aid.
