This Week In Location: The return of the old school, Brightkite + Loopt deals & InCrowd launches in the 1.8 billion industry

Location-Based Apps Names

If you read the same old tech blogs you’ll think it was a light week in the location space. It was light compared to the last two weeks as everyone catches their breath and move forward from the Facebook Places announcement but the location industry was very much active this week as ever. Over the last seven days two of the very first location-based services announced check-in rewards/specials. Brightkite teamed with McDonald’s and Visa and Loopt announced a deal with Virgin wich equaled their fifth largest day ever. Also this week the creators of MyTown, Booyah’s new InCrowd iPhone app was released. InCrowd was first announced during the Facebook Places announcement. My thoughts so far on InCrowd? It’s not for hardcore check-in users. It’s more like an avatar game made for kids who want to check-in, IMHO. Perhaps the biggest news last week was a report saying Location-Based Marketing To Reach $1.8B In 2015 and you wonder why we started TriOut? Speaking of TriOut founder @LawPower posted this week about the future plans for the service along with more version two features. So was it a slow week? No, to catch up here are 41 location-based articles from last week that you may have missed.
