Where are Twitter and Facebook’s Geolocation Features?
Feb 05, 2009

Mashable! I’ve been playing around with Google Latitude on and off since this morning. I must admit, it’s pretty cool and demonstrates why geolocation is interesting, and services like Loopt and BrightKite have found some success as early players in the space. But as myself and a lot of other commenters have noted, the problem with (Read More)

: My opinion? Keep Twitter simple. It's what got them the overwhelming popularity. There are 3rd-party services that offer geolocation (BrightKite, whirrl, Loopt) that ping Twitter.
By keeping it separate, you have more control over who sees your location and who doesn't.

For Twitter, I totally agree.
But Facebook should think about it. Via FB-Connect isn't really enough, but to integrate into the mobile version, I don't know.

Did Google Just Kill All the Other Mobile Social Networks?
Feb 04, 2009

ReadWriteWeb Yesterday, Google announced a new mobile location-aware application called Latitude, which lets you track your friends' whereabouts using your mobile phone. The move will have major ramifications to the current mobile social networking market which was just beginning to get off the ground. The question we must ask now is th (Read More)

: Its a very advanced application, you can switch it off or not. As for social networking I think it has amazing potential providing that users are 'taught' how to use it sensibly. Bearing in mind todays news that so many sex offenders were removed from MySpace it may be worth considering a decent walk through of the app with warnings and advice for security. As with FB the default setting should be private and you have the choice to opt open!

: Google didn't "kill" other geolocation services and social networks. They just added another one to the mix. Unfortunately, those without smartphones are left out of Google's. BrightKite is my clear favorite because they were first, allow multiple methods of access (sms, email, website), and (ironically) they're already using Google Maps for their location-finding.
Seems like Google should've bought BrightKite instead of Dodgeball.

: VERY interesting article on Latitude's impact on all the other 'mobile social networks'. This is a really poignant reminder - We should really prioritize content over features. IMHO, users will come to us because we give them the best recommendations, not because we are the easiest way to connect with people. This means recommending things that are (1) close and (2) match users preferences (incl. price range). We should kill events that are likely to be over, that are sold out, etc. Forcefeeding RBLs is a short term cash flow fix - innovating to give users value will lower churn and boost $$ over the longer term. What do you think Facebook's churn is?

I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road and slowly the driver gets out of the car. ... . and you know how you just-get-sooo-stressed and life-stuff seems to get funny? Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it . .. he was a DWARF! He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!' So, I look down at him and say, 'Well then, which one are you?' . .. . and that's when the fight started .. (via FriendFeed)

@VincentWright Yes. Whether it is professional networking or social networking you have to think of what you are getting out of all your hyper activity. This is very true in case of professional networking because every minute we spend there adds to cost like any other resource we use.

: Linkedin has opened me new avenues to connect to key people of my field which otherwise is not possible in Job search sites as I am representing many freelancers who don't have much time to promote their image online. Linkedin has given us front page listings in google searches to our Project Vyas which over a period of time has created recognition and credibility among our local communities as no one else in our town has used Linkedin in such an extensive way. Today many software professionals, project managers, HR people natives of my town settled abroad are trying to connect to me on their own. The secret is stand out in any network whether it is Linkedin or Stumbleupon or Digg. Stay long and consistently.
