That's awesome - Best of luck with that venture and since this post there have been some big changes in the industry and a possible modified direction of Foursquare in the upcoming 2.0 release. They'll focus more heavily on to-dos and tips so watch for that and prepare for it. They're making those part of the game mechanics in 2.0.

I am currently working with a local radio station broadening their social media presence. They are somewhat resistant in my opinion,. I was not on foursquare before this post, but as I was reading, I remembered one of the radio personalities asking me about 4square. I realized I am missing the boat here, if he is more interested that me. I am now signed up and hopefully will be able to bring some innovative ideas to businesses who are not on 4square yet...

Your customers are already mentioning your brand in these services and their comments are showing up in search results. It isn’t hard to understand that like other social media, location-based services need active engagement and monitoring.

Glad I could help out. I've been on foursquare since the first time they used it at SXSW in Austin, TX a couple years back and I really see this market growing a LOT. If I ever get around to it I have some stuff for a nice follow up post. I'm also speaking on this specifically again in another month so I'll probably have to post something by then :) Cheers! haha nice – go get em! Glad I could help out.

What an awesome post! Thanks for sharing such great information, because it gave me plenty of ideas. On a side note, I'm amazed at all of the badges you've earned on Foursquare. I'm envious. I'd write more, but I'm off to bounce around town and earn more badges. :o) Hi Chuck, I just found your post while scheming ways to help a client promote themselves in more creative ways via social media.

The thing with Realtors and similar is to show them how they can make money off of it. I'm assuming more people = more money. And this all depends on if they're willing to work for it or just want another magic button to push and get rich quick :) I get a lot of those looks from Real Estate agents :P

Just because you can give 20% off on all appetizers with a checkin for a restaurant doesn't mean a lawyer couldn't drop his initial consulting fee or offer the 2nd hour free or something with tweeting a checkin on your first checkin. But yes I think they can benefit from it - Just takes some brain power. I've talked about that before a bit and these specific types of businesses have to think outside of the box a little bit.
