Instead, we wanted to use it—when we weren’t using it to promote #gno parties or capturing RSVP info—as a way to promote community members’ blogs. That is when the idea to focus the community on a service-related mission—of “changing the world one mom at a time&# —was created.

How consumers digest advertising and make buying decisions has forever been altered by the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and LinkedIn. During the Discovery phase the brand lets go of the conversation and hands it to the community. Talk about your progress, what your creating, create a community of believers.

Not whether that’s the Chief Marketing Officer or the Director of Public Affairs or the Community Relations Lead, but actual names of people. It might be that new guy over in community relations, or maybe it’s your webmaster. Remember, social media is driven by the person, not the position. It might be Kim over in HR.

Blogging helps you build community (especially via comments), establish thought leadership, bring links to your website (both internally, perhaps to products or to other articles on your blog, and externally, when people like what you say and opt to link to you), and get you some nice traffic. Give to your community. Customer Service.

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.

Place making social media (Foursquare, Gowalla, et al) will continue to gain traction over the next 18 months. Social media is fueled by passion, and too many companies try to take elements of their company that aren’t passion-worthy, and attempt to build a social media program around it. That's all. Just compliments. Im Jay Baer.

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.

By May 18 , the MetaFilter community dared to ask the same, very unpopular questions Becky and some of her friends had been asking for months. This happened last week on the tightly knit community on Plurk, which has a unique and friendly atmosphere as Tamar described a few weeks ago. Be observant! Did your room just light up?

The three hostages are fortunately safe, and business resumed as usual for Discovery Communications staffers. Around that time, though, I noticed that TLC was promoting Foursquare as Facebook within their TV programs. In fact, the screenshot above with all the spam shows that that Foursquare status update was nowhere to be found.

Ask a newly-minted Foursquare mayor how they feel about it. It’s making social content sharing more fun. Of these trends, the biggest is the embedding of services into online infrastructure, because the line of demarcation between your website and our social networks is going to get very fuzzy over the next few years.
