Let's be friends on Foursquare

Thanks to my buddy, Nan Palmero, I'm hooked on Foursquare - you can find me here, so we can connect..

This is more than just a game. At first glance and only having been using it for only 4 days, it's a terrific way for a retail store-front operations such as a bank, a coffee shop, the dry cleaners, or grocery store to connect with its fans.

I say fans, rather than customers, because as someone who frequents Central Market, Broadway National Bank, and Starbucks, and Redbone Guitar Boutique, I'm proud to share great finds - and great service with my friends.

Yesterday I had breakfast at Cafe Salsita and once I checked in on Foursquare, up pops a recommendation from another friend who'd already been there.

While running a couple of errands, I saw that that Sean Wood just had lunch as Zuchi Sushi.  It reminded me to go back there for a sushi fix soon. 

I'm just starting to get Foursquare. I find the more I try different social networks, a few strike a chord. Foursquare is one of those indeed.

Highly Recommended

How CES 2010 is a good economic indicator

Greetings from the CES Show in Las Vegas.

Above and beyond the hype of new products, what matters here this year is that there are more people on site taking part in the event.

It was evident when my friend, Nan Palmero, with Sales by 5 from San Antonio and I had to wait 30 minutes in line for a taxi from the airport to get to our hotel.

Last year, getting a taxi was easy.

There just were not as many people.

Last night at the Lenovo / Social Media Jungle party, it was a sea of humanity.

Last year, not so. There's more people. There's a better vibe - all to me which reflect as a leading economic indicator. I am not proposing that you run out and run up your credit cards and spend, spend, spend.

I am just saying that my sense is that things are slowly turning and getting better and that a promising, though I predict slower, rebound is taking hold.

Kudos to Erik Darmstetter who runs the ship at Sales by 5. Here he is at a famed #PittyParty dressed accordingly.
