Adventures in Mobile Social 2.0: Twelve Months of foursquare
Location-based services mashed-up with social networks are nothing new - we’ve been checking-in and finding our friends across a variety of services since 2005. What is new is what users expect to get in return. Whether it’s game mechanics, , special offers, or open-access to their data via an API, users’ expectations are much higher this time around. This talk will review some of the things we’ve learned through a year’s worth of foursquare.com and our efforts to turn life into a game.
