Dennis Crowley of Foursquare at Le Web (video)

I didn’t see it (since I’m unfortunately not in Paris) but I guess the CEO of Forrester proclaimed Foursquare dead at Le Web. This is an interview from the WSJ right after the incident. (I don’t believe Foursquare is dead but I do think that now the masses are joining that their target audience has changed.)

Foursquare’s issue
F
So, I’ve had a couple of conversations with people that have spoken with one of the founders of Foursquare. The general feeling they’ve come away with is “low grade frustration”. They can’t figure out how to get people to use Foursquare; more. At 15 million users, this problem, at it’s worst, is known as Foursquare fatigue, where people just stop using the...
Geeking out with my Wife!
G
So . . . today, my wife says, “Hey honey. Why don’t we go to Red Rocks and take some pictures on Instagram and publish them to Foursquare. After my brain did several summer-salts for a couple of seconds I tried to figure out when the aliens had managed to grab my wife and replaced her with exact replica AND if they were going to bring my real wife back soon.

While this is great for double checking the...

Not sure how I missed this (My4SquareAlibi), but it actually works and the “product videos” are very funny. More videos with a less than family feel are here. Enjoy!
mobile + social + location = events
m
Events are turning out to be the primary way that mobile & social & location work together. Hot spots on the timeline. Before I start, I think it’s safe to say that I’m not an event planner but I have played one on TV. I think of an event as having three phases. It’s going to happen – Tweetups have become a great way to help promote events. By using twitter...
Is Foursquare social?
I
For those of you living under a VERY large rock; Foursquare is a game that allows users to check-in to physical locations,with their mobile device to earn points and attain badges. There are of course, other things that you can do with Foursquare. As a user, you can add a tip or “shout” it out. Except for competing against your peers, to earn points/badges, Foursquare isn’t...
