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. Im Jay Baer.

Combined with the new geo-targeted social interaction tools like Foursquare and Gowalla, and the just over the horizon technology of QR codes , social graph portability and the “site-less&# Web (as Paul Gillin calls it ) is an area that smart agencies need to know now.

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.

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.

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.

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. The FourSquare/Facebook issue is at best a confusing promotion.

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. Pretty neat theory to think about.
