Badge Communities Foursquare Platform 
Almost Savvy

The great thing about using technology and social networking platforms is that we can easily connect, no matter where we happen to be. If I wanted to know these things, we’d be connected on Foursquare so I could follow along as you cruise through town going to meetings and running errands. Still, it is your choice.

Sure, Foursquare has 5 million users at last count, but as you read this sentence there are billions of Web users. And it’s a lot more than just giving out some badges. Link Link Link.

Whenever I present or give classes on monetizing social networks and online communities people usually have two questions. Collectibles buy an account and get special badges like the Pro badge above. Or Foursquare style reward badges – most retweeted, most linked. Two, how can Twitter make money?

I know Ed most from the amazing browser extensions he's created on the Kynetx platform. However, we met again recently, previously when he was working for Bungee Labs , one of the very first Platform as a Service companies (even before Google App Engine). Brad's not just a marketer or typical community guy though.

Keeping up-to-date on which parties are where and when, which are invitation-only, open to anyone with a SXSW badge or open to anyone period, is an exercise unto itself. Ready for Yet Another Social Platform? They are huge, many with several hundred people at a time packed into crowded clubs.

We saw a forced version of this last year with Burger King's Whopper Sacrifice , but the proliferation of "friends" on various platforms will have people rethinking the true reason they're involved in these places to begin with. Related: see Matt Singley's post on Why Foursquare is the next Social Network. Social media is no different.

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.
