It was recently brought to my attention that perhaps not everyone cares as deeply as I do about the Death of FBML or How The 2011 Super Bowl #failed in Social Media but that’s no reason to tell me I’m not, and I quote, “covering real trends in Social Media”. Ouch. In response to this rather hurtful comment, I’ve decided to see what exactly this outsider thinks is “important” and we’ll just see if I agree.
The post accompanying this opinion was one entitled, “A Year in the life of a Geo Based Social Network Giant Foursquare- 2010 by the numbers“. A good title and a good report no doubt but as I read the 134 words in this “earth shattering” article, I’m not gona lie, my mind was not blown. I’ve been jocking foursquare since it’s start, so much so that @dens (Dennis Crowley, Co Founder and CEO of Foursquare) is a twitter follower, consistent chatter, facebook friend and oh yes, foursquare friend of mine. That being said, I know better than anyone how insane foursquare is, with its 3400% growth in one year, over 6 million users and 381 million + checkins. Here nor there, I would assume that in my abundant list of blog posts, I would have conveyed my respect for this wondrous geo-location trend- but perhaps I need to more often. Whether or not I did in posts like 4 Things you MUST be doing in Social Media – the complaint has been duly noted so be expecting a super awesome geo location and how to work it into your marketing plan blog post in the near future.
