Now, I’m not suggesting Foursquare will ever approach Twitter’s level of ubiquity, much less Facebook’s. Because Foursquare makes very little sense unless you’re in a physical location like a store, restaurant, etc. At least it is for me.

(*note – these are also the people who may take longer lunches or come in a little late because they don’t just “shut off&# at 5:00 PM) Can speak like a human being – Corporate marketing speak, statistics, facts, and figures are good, but when was the last time you got inspired by a pie chart? Train and educate them.

Opportunities Via Geography Recently, I was in downtown Flagstaff (where I live) and used Foursquare to check-in at a local restaurant. That type of rifle shot, competitive marketing would be unthinkable in the “real world&# , but it happens every minute of every day on Foursquare. That’s the Opportunity Economy at work.

The site is exceptionally poor at welcoming and training new users , which may result in its high churn rate. FourSquare and Gowalla go Back to the Future The new location-based darlings FourSquare and Gowalla are stealing a lot of the place-based intimacy that originally propelled Twitter. I'm not even going to try.

I do this only occasionally, however, as my friends/followers on each site don’t have much overlap. Lifetime statistics, cross-posting, multiple accounts, etc. Tracking Google Analytics No surprise, this is my primary statistical source for Convince & Convert. I’ve tried Foursquare , too.

Ask a newly-minted Foursquare mayor how they feel about it. Agency sites like Modernista’s and Boone Oakley’s which were cutting edge in social media just scant months ago will increasingly become the norm among marketers. It’s making social content sharing more fun. It will be slow, and it will be messy, though.

The TripAdvisor site had 2 very similar complaints about service there in the past month and a half, so I know it's an issue that goes beyond me. I will post again on those sites after (if) the actions are final. Their brand management account followed me on Twitter after I posted, and retweeted my positive tweets.

Location, Location, Location The biggest story of the event was the widespread usage of presence services foursquare and Gowalla. foursquare has a very interesting new dashboard that shows business owners data about how and when people have checked-in. I’ll write about that soon. as they are in Asia, just not yet.

Whether B2B or B2C, customers are buying based on what they need. Action: This screams micro-site and a slightly marked-up price. Create Demand, Not Messages Success with “social” marketing is becoming less about creating desire, positive sentiment or aspiration among customers. It’s more about demand creation.
