I have talked about foursquare<\/a> in the past.<\/p>\n

When I first joined them they were only in a few cities and you were not able to edit places or are new ones.<\/p>\n

Now foursquare is a completely different different tool, much more powerful and more looking like the one it had my number one in my list: tellmewhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also tested gowalla<\/a> and it was more sort of a game, leaving stuff and probably more to meet people. I did not like and it has been a while since I don’t try it.<\/p>\n

The fact is that location based apps for smart phones are as I predicted, skyrocketing and looks like foursquare is the winner, even after google buzz<\/a>, which includes latitude and location as well as thread conversations, but again, as I said by limiting it to gmail users would be an impediment for reaching number one, and in fact I feel the hype of buzz has gone down.
\nAnyway, I wanted to talk about a very nice mash up of foursquare:<\/p>\n

A very nice graphic interface using bing and foursquare to see your friends and places you have been. Very visual and very nice.<\/p>\n

Petty that only one of my 600 contacts uses foursquare. I guess here is not that common and I am a strange case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
