The problem with most social networks is that they need some time until they get a significant number of users (if they get) and start being interesting and attractive. It was not the case Foursquare, in record time (just over a year since its launch in mid-2009) has achieved than 3 million users . It is an application that is installed on the phones with GPS , and based on your location, lets you do “check-in” (indicate where you are) in any business, trade, park, landmark, concert, etc. Each “check-in” communicate with your fans or friends of Foursquare and you can also share it via Twitter and Facebook. The attractive part is that the user An easy way you can let your friends where you are
, especially if you are in a special place: the Eiffel Tower, Empire State, a famous football stadium, a museum …
Have left many small competitors in recent months as Gowalla or MyTown, even Facebook has begun implementing its “Facebook Places” with a very similar function, which
marks the trend of geolocation . Foursquare’s success is that he has a touch of “game” that has made it more attractive to users, and have a motivation to use every day, contrary to what happens to others who have more time as, for example, Google Latitude. When you “check-in sites, you get points, you unlock challenges, see who is around, read the recommendations from others who have been there … And if you are who else has been on a site, you automatically become in the “mayor” of that place. Is not it attractive? ![]()

It’s the perfect combination of social networks and “real world.” Although at first may seem very trivial, just a game,
is an important source of information for both sides , both consumers / users and brands / companies. This has just begun. Big brands like Domino’s Pizza and Starbucks have begun to offer users of these services. If someone is going 4 straight days and have a coffee, Day 5 takes it free. Is a different way to reward the loyal customer , bonding and physical presence with social networking and encouraging step to provide its achievements to their friends.
Some analysts are skeptical about the future of marketing based on geolocation. However, another large segment believes that we must pay attention and begin to invest in this area. Personally I think this is likely to change much in the coming years (”months?), But
who knows the tools and has already done some experiments, take a few steps ahead of competitors who join later. Little to lose and everything to gain.
