Interesting interview however I disagree completely with Om's stance on the product. I started with 4Sq but have moved completely over to GoWalla. The UI, experience and icons is a more enjoyable experience to me. I don't care for Mayors on 4SQ which seemed to be the sticking point for Om. Gowalla's concept of trips is intriguing. Gowalla has the momentum in my mind and from this interview they have a bright leader driving.
