Location Based Poll: What is your favorite Location based social network/app?

Featured Geo-Location Polls social networks


We’re only 14 days into 2010 and if there was one social media / technology prediction that everyone have been accurate about so far, it is that location based apps will be the next big thing. Now with 15 plus location social networks available many have already deemed Foursquare the clear leader, and if you look at the compete website numbers you’ll see why. After purchasing foursquare.com around August, their website numbers have passed some of the early location based social networks in just two months by more than double.

I don’t have all the data on how many users each location based social network has, but I do know that despite what many believe, the location based war is still very much wide open. For businesses looking to implement location based marketing to reach out to their customers, I suggest looking at all of the options and find out which location social network / app your customers are using before starting any with geo marketing.

To help businesses with their decisions and to provide me with some research data, I’m interested to see what is your favorite location based social network. Take a second and vote in the poll below. Also feel free to let me know why it’s your favorite location based app in the comments.

    I love the Gowalla. The design is awesome and I love picking up an item and finding seeing who has had it before me and where it has been.

    Tri-Out is great, but….I’d love for it to stay local to the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area…and only allow people to check in when they are within a certain range of the area. Let the other location based netwaorks go nationwide, but keep Tri-Out triangle only.

      Great post! I really love Gowalla’s functionality for dropping and picking up pins. One thing I do wish would happen would be to have Gowalla make stats available like 4SQ does. Call me competetive but I like knowing where I stand. :)

      Great post!

        Thanks for the comment. I agree with you. Would like to know some of my Gowalla stats

    I like Gowalla a little bit more than foursquare at the moment but I think a darkhorse could emerge by the name of MyTown. Some strong game developers are behind it. Have you heard of it?

      Thanks for the comment. Yes MyTown is listed in the poll above.
