Socialized

NOVEMBER 4, 2009

Location-based services — applications that “know” where you are and can use that information to connect you with people, places and things — are one of the hot new classes of social media applications. That doesn’t mean all of these phones will run Foursquare , Brightkite or any other popular location-based application.

Airline staff greet me by name and not just because I’ve left my conference name tag on my jacket. I have a lot of friends in Cairns”: which would be irrelevant except that, in social media terms, everybody knows everybody. They win badges and special offers for participating.

I’d guess that this unusual evolution has led to a tech event which is more like a festival than a pure conference. This is not like any other conference you’ve attended. The larger issue for me was one I’ve been feeling a lot lately after attending many tech and social media events. Not so much.

I wanted to expand upon those tips, and add a few extra ways that I am getting ready for Blog World Expo next month, my first major blogging conference.

So you probably have goals that your boss has in mind.

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.
