Bye bye FourSquare...
- refulgentis 16y agothey partnered with FourSquare/GoWalla, actually. there will be a full read/write API. read is open today, write is in closed beta.
- jfornear 16y agoAll these two companies have going for them now are stamps and badges...
- moultano 16y agoAnd ironically, that's why most people use them . . .
- jlgosse 16y agoI don't think that's irony :(
- moultano 16y agoI dunno, I certainly never expected that people would want to play their lives as an MMO. :)
- jokermatt999 16y agoI take it you didn't see Chris Hecker's GDC talk? It was all about the real world gaining these MMO like rewards. It was fascinating and horrifying at the same time, but I'm hoping it will never be a reality. www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27646/GDC_Heckers_Nightmare_Scenario__A_Future_Of_Rewarding_Players_For_Dull_Tasks.php

- danlove 16y agoSeems there is a market for such a thing. EpicWin is an RPG to-do list application for the iPhone. http://www.epicwinapp.com http://www.epicwinapp.com
- benologist 16y agoOnce FB has their or enough data why can't they just add those features?
- robg 16y agoWhat's the history for Facebook squashing competition?
- nl 16y agoMySpace, Friendster, Orkut, Hi5, Bebo. I'm sure there are others that I'm missing. They have played pretty hard in the virtual currency area too (although if anyone really thought they'd be able to build a business in that area on Facebook then I've got a bridge to sell you)
- nl 16y agoDepends if you think Foursquare is more like Zynga or FriendFeed. Facebook can help some apps, but crushes others. I don't think it's at all clear which this will be.
