Hi Patrick, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your comments and I agree that the business use of FourSquare provides great potential. Keeping the user's attention span for FourSquare will continue to be a challenge. It will be up to business to create new and creative use of the social platform. FourSqaure has created the network, and I'm excited to see how businesses find new ways for marketing via mayorships and check-ins. Have you seen any unique and creative uses yet?

FourSquare Day? Haven't heard of that yet, thanks for passing along the info. I know FourSquare's popularity is jumping but people's attention span is limited and they'll need to continue to find relevance. I see the business value to the network, but i don't find much personal use for it.

Great tips and a solid tutorial for businesses looking to get into these hyper-local social platforms.

The potential that foursquare (and Gowalla, whrrl, etc) offer small businesses is enormous. Business owners have wanted to tell consumers why they are better than their competition while in-market forever. These services offer that ability to marketers that understand the 1st mover advantages associated with this technology.

Dipping your toe in the water by following your advice is a perfect start!

[...] If you think you’ve got something special, guess again. So does everyone else. And their letting everyone know via TV, Radio, Print, POP, Inserts, Guerilla marketing and now Facebook, Twitter, and even Foursquare. [...]

I'd def be interested in your results Brian. It's tough to get non tech folks on board with Foursquare, although more folks are getting smart phones. At some point it should reach a tipping point where even non-techies begin using it. Maybe Oprah should talk about it.
