I have written in the past about the fight of location based apps like foursquare, gowalla, tellmewhere, brightkite, Google etc… in several posts. Now, time has passed. I have tested everything it was new. At the beginning it was fun: having badges and mayors with Forusquare, leaving stuff and taking stuff with Gowalla… but with time […]

Twitter announced that will be adding location or places as they call it to twitter. When you first here about it you think that this will kill foursquare and gowalla, but if you read twitter’s blog you will see that apart from letting people tag specific places they will also allow apps like gowalla’s and […]

I have written several times about my workflows for facebook, twitter using brightkite, one of my favourite apps. Now with all the location-based apps there is a clear hype, but again we will start experiencing fatigue. You go to a bar and then what… you have to open brightkite, check in write a note and […]

I have talked about foursquare in the past. When I first joined them they were only in a few cities and you were not able to edit places or are new ones. Now foursquare is a completely different different tool, much more powerful and more looking like the one it had my number one in […]

I have talked in the past about location based apps. Now google targets your searches depending on your location. New browsers ask you if you allow them to know where you are so the results are more location based, and not only traditional searches but more and more real time social network news from twitter […]
