Why You'll Use Foursquare
Suddenly, there are two kinds of people. The first kind loves location-based social networking services like Foursquare. They speak in an alien language about "Mayors" and "Badges" and broadcast their locations to the world.
The second kind is trying hard to ignore these services and their fans. But it's getting harder to do because auto-generated Foursquare posts are increasingly showing up on Twitter and Facebook.
While Foursquare is the most popular of these services, some are using competitors like Gowalla, Loopt, Brightkite, Yelp, Whrrl and Google Latitude. If you avoid location services, or are even actively hostile toward them, I'm here to deliver some bad news. Chances are, you'll eventually switch sides and become a user.
