It took me a while to realize what Gowalla was after seeing some bizarre tweets about it for a few months. When I finally clicked on one of the URLs there was no map, no pictures, only a useless placeholder page for the business. What a waste of time it was clicking on that link... it offered nothing to someone who wasn't already familiar with the business... in essence it was a 100% regrettable click.
Why would Gowalla encourage people to tweet useless links to their friends/follwers?
- jkaljundi 16y agoThat's the reason why Facebook Places is available only in the US and coming to a few selected countries later. They want to populate the database in advance. Same reason for Yelp to take the country by country approach, to make sure it's useful.
