Well, that’s the basic premise behind Foursquare. Foursquare is a social networking website that works off the location of its users. Keeping up with the whereabouts of your friends has never been easier than with Foursquare. You can even earn badges giving you bragging rights for that venue.

Around that time, though, I noticed that TLC was promoting Foursquare as Facebook within their TV programs. On multiple occasions, I noticed an overlay during their episodes that encouraged users to follow them on Foursquare with a link to a Facebook.com address. Heck, perhaps TLC will come by and ramp up their social media efforts.

I'm sure you've seen your fair share of social media predictions for 2010 by now. Expect to see a focus on fewer and stronger relationships in our own networks and in influencer/media relations.

It works particularly well with problem-solving where badges or scores indicate competency. Many corporations use gamification to encourage employee engagement , sharing of company information on social media, and meeting performance goals. Just like merit badges in the scouts, or checking in on Foursquare to earn points.

Can an internal socially powered ideation platform or network empower and propel an employee into massive production and an upbeat morale? Does social media offer the panacea to an employee who feels that he is not being paid what he is worth? Does social give a voice to the employee who isn’t happy?

Many social media guidelines have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to addressing negative criticism in social networks, but assessing the situation and the potential positive vs negative outcomes of responses is a skill that comes from experience.
