If it is worth it to you to tick off a bunch of your online friends to publicly proclaim that you just earned a GymRat badge on Foursquare and you’re comfortable with the privacy issues of announcing where you are at every given moment, then more power to you. No badge, no mayorship, no virtual prize, no free sandwich is worth it.

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.

I was told that the “mistake&# about the Foursquare-Facebook promotion was legitimate, since they were polling users on Facebook to find places where Foursquare badges can be given — yes, read that again. Seems odd to ask where to put FourSquare badges anyhow. But yes, check your feed! I’m not convinced.

In my case, I have particularly taken a liking to the News Feed. As a small extension of that, Facebook allows you to create your own “profile badge,&# a snippet of code that you can display on other websites, and even for users who don’t have Facebook. Face it (no pun intended), Facebook is the ultimate stalker tool.

I also agree that ThinkGeek's approach with two Twitter feeds to satisfy the needs of different audiences (attitudinally based vs. demographically- or even activity-based) is a step in the right direction. 39% of the people that check email first still use Facebook daily, but their motivation for doing so remains deal-centric.
