Foursquare is a popular Social Media app that lets you “check in” when you get to certain locations via GPS in your SmartPhone. It has been a big hit with companies like Starbucks and no doubt your local watering hole. Users often like it when they become Mayor of Bob’s Pub or the Starbucks on Main Street for example.

Competition is Brewing

In the ongoing saga of who will get the most users- SM juggernaut Facebook will soon be taking a swing at location based functionality within its app.

While details are still under wraps one can only image what this means. What other company has the staff and the users to make this the next “it” app with this functionality? Facebbok is the largest social media site out right now with no signs of stopping its quest for users who post status updates around the clock.

Advertisers

Facebook will have advertisers lined up from day one. Why you ask? For starters they will be able to see what users are saying and where they are saying it at. Not only will you know what is going on but know where to look.

We’ll keep on this to see where Facebook takes it. Don’t forget that Facebook has competition creeping up as well. Our SM’ers will keep an eye out to see if any other apps plan on adding location based services soon.
