Sessions

Location: Ballroom III - VI
Dennis Crowley (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. 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. Read more.
Local
Location: Ballroom V
MG Siegler (TechCrunch), Ryan Sarver (Twitter), Josh Williams (Gowalla), Dennis Crowley (foursquare), Sam Altman (Loopt), Mark Hendrickson (Worldly Developments)
As more services integrate location elements, we're sending out a lot of geo-tagged data. But what does it say about us? More importantly, how can it help us in our daily lives?
