Comments on: The Foursquare squeeze: will it survive to check in on 2011? http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/29/the-foursquare-squeeze-will-it-survive-to-check-in-on-2011/ Searching for world-changing technology Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:14:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: grijsz http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/29/the-foursquare-squeeze-will-it-survive-to-check-in-on-2011/comment-page-1/#comment-129361 grijsz Sun, 07 Feb 2010 05:09:24 +0000 http://scobleizer.com/?p=6267#comment-129361 What I miss both in Foursquare and Gowalla is even more engagement for the user to create something unique, leave a story or an image on a certain location to literally change and recreate the daily world we are living in. That connected with Micro payments, like somebody drops a wonderful photo on a certain location and somebody else checking in could buy it for a couple of Cent. That could work with other information as well. I learned of two other services going in similar directions to lets the user create images/and/or notes, these are <a href="http://flook.it" rel="nofollow">http://flook.it</a> and <a href="http://blockchalk.com" rel="nofollow">http://blockchalk.com</a><br>I tested Google Latitude and are adding new tools recently, like the Google Location History Tracker, which is not public.

I don't see this changing for me, or the vast majority of people, even those on Twitter and Facebook, anytime soon.
