I too have tried “everything” and it seems like they’re all “tweaking” to find the right spot and that’s precisely the point; users don’t know exactly what they want – instead they “follow” others.

Like the fax, these tools get more and more useful as more people get & use them !

I call bs on this statement.

Anyone seen any updates from yelp incorporating this into their service?

It should be interesting to see what the scene looks like in 6-12 months!

Yet, Gowalla feels more solid, looks gorgeous, and is simply more functional. Foursquare’s website seems like an afterthought, and the reliance on street addresses is a serious weakness in a GPS-powered world. Gowalla allows me to share locations off the beaten path, even if there’s no street to speak of (i.e. a point on a trail, a specific corner of a large park). And while the crowning of “mayors” in Foursquare seems like a strong motivator, it’s also generated some pretty angry arguments that seem the antithesis of a social network.

Be that as it may, who do I think will win this little GPS-based social media battle? Initially I think it’s going to be the software that launches a stable platform on Blackberry devices. We all know that if one or the other launches a platform for the BB that is deemed user-UNfriendly, shaky or unstable…it will be all over the social media realm within days forcing early adopters to jump ship and making later adopters jump on board with the early adopters because, well…that’s where all the people are.

Just my thoughts though…will be interested to see where this goes and excited to try both on my BB, so can we please get a move on?! :)
