#“Sorry Foursquare, Forget Europe, Facebook Wins”
I normally wouldn't call a result a few days after a new release but bloody hell, Facebook Places has gone mental in Ireland in less than a week. And I'm not talking about geeks. Most of the people I am friends with on Facebook have never heard of Foursquare or Gowalla and yet they are checking in all over the place on FB. It's amazing to watch.
How many years have we banged on about Location Based Services to no avail outside of the early adopter brigade?
All Facebook has to do now to keep the momentum going is to get deals/discounts in place everywhere.
I have been a dedicated 4SQ user since it launched here and an intermittent Gowalla user but I honestly think I'll be giving up on both over the next few weeks.
I'll finally get my thoughts down here in the next few days about why Facebook Places will slaughter Google Places too.
