  11. Social site FourSquare is gaining incredible popularity. The basis of this site is for users to use their mobile devices to check-in to places they visit. For example, if Joe smith goes to Starbucks, he would ‘check-in’ to Starbucks on his phone. This would automatically update Joe’s Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts. Joe would also accrue points for his check-ins. Eventually, when he has the most points per place he would then become the’Mayor’ of that destination.. The future is here: Foursquare

  12. This is still in the web 2.0 phase. However, where it is beginning to cross over is it’s impact on real life. Companies can run promotions at their store and give away a gift to their ‘Mayor’. For example, Starbucks could give Joe a free cup of coffee each week just for being the Mayor. Joe promotes Starbucks to hundreds of his friends and followers on social media sites and Starbucks encourages sales through the point accruals. The future is here (cont.)
