Foursquare's biggest problem is that it is *too* location centric. It can't be used by people outside the US (and if I understand correctly, it still can't be used in all US cities?). Sure, they'll open it up eventually, but by then it will be too late. Far fewer people will care.<br><br>Right from the off, Twitter allowed anyone to use their service, irrespective of their location - remember how mesmerised we were by Twittervision? Watching those realtime updates come in from all over the world woke people up to the impact that Twitter was about to have.<br><br>By limiting who can use their service, Foursquare has damaged their potential to make a huge splash. I'd predict that in 12 months, if Foursquare is still around, it will only be used by a small but hard core number of fans.AndrewTerrySun, 20 Sep 2009 05:55:02 -0000http://shootingatbubbles.disqus.com/oh_scoble_you_are_so_damn_predictable/#comment-11857227I was referring to 'people' rather than platform. When it comes to a platform *plus* conversation I have to really give props to the Friendfeed team. Regardless of my feelings on the direction they are going the platform they have built surpasses much of what is out there for engagement.StevenHodsonSun, 28 Jun 2009 12:55:14 -0000http://shootingatbubbles.disqus.com/oh_scoble_you_are_so_damn_predictable/#comment-11855097Steven, when you say there others out there, do you mean *people* to engage in good conversation, or platforms other than Friendfeed?<br><br>I think I've got a good handle on the people element, but would be interested to hear your thoughts on the platform aspect (if that's what you meant).AndrewTerrySun, 28 Jun 2009 11:49:25 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/watch_the_google_anthill_move_toward_social_and_real_time/#comment-9947504Microsoft did, in fact, ship Cairo, and I'll bet that many of your readers are using it today.<br><br>The Greek letters Chi (pronounced "Kai") and Rho are represented by the modern letters X and P. So, Cairo = Chi Rho = XP.AndrewTerryTue, 26 May 2009 05:17:23 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/why_i_haven8217t_posted_for_two_weeks/#comment-9715066Best of luck to you, Robert.

Whenever I have to go back to Google Reader, it now feels clunky and cumbersome.<br><br>I'm pretty certain, btw, that Feedly *does* tell you how many times an article has been Recommended (akin to Liked in Friendfeed) and highlights those articles so they stand out - that serves to indicate other people's experience, doesn't it?Andrew TerryWed, 11 Feb 2009 16:00:56 -0000http://scripting.disqus.com/twitter_kills_google_in_real_time_search_scripting_news/#comment-6135781Google News indexes and sorts news written elsewhere. Asking it to be as current as real-time chatter is mixing oranges and apples.justcorblyTue, 10 Feb 2009 07:03:45 -0000http://scripting.disqus.com/twitter_kills_google_in_real_time_search_scripting_news/#comment-6135023I experienced a similar thing last week, when the UK was crippled by some snow - I was able to get up-to-date travel information about the roads I use by following the near-realtime updates being posted to Twitter with the #uksnow tag. Google and mainstream weather/travel sites were at least an hour behind. I guess the bigger question is, how will the likes of Google evolve and respond to this challenge?AndrewTerryTue, 10 Feb 2009 05:39:09 -0000http://justinfleming.disqus.com/starting_to_get_edgy_about_google/#comment-2538601Good comeback. I don't think I'll be moving away from Google anytime soon but one has to think about these things every now and then.<br><br>I wonder what it is that makes the image of a good company be perceived as bad? Google is still currently a 'white knight' of technology, whereas Microsoft has long been the 'black knight'. Image the backlash if they merged meaning all the data Google has was given to MS - I bet people would go nuts, but that's another story.justinflemingTue, 23 Sep 2008 03:32:40 -0000http://justinfleming.disqus.com/starting_to_get_edgy_about_google/#comment-2521136Google have since admitted that the Chrome EULA was little more than a cut & paste error (<a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080903-google-on-chrome-eula-controversy-our-bad-well-change-it.html" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080903-g...</a>) blown out of all proportion.<br><br>Like you, I entrust an awful lot personal information to Google, be it in the form of search terms, Calendar events, contacts etc. but i take the view that at least I can get my information *back out* of Google and take it somewhere else if I wanted/needed to - and unlike some other organisations (starts with "F", ends with "acebook", I trust Google to delete my information if choose to migrate away from their services.AndrewTerryMon, 22 Sep 2008 12:00:13 -0000http://shootingatbubbles.disqus.com/open_letter_to_doc_searls_amp_hugh_macleod/#comment-307821This might actually be a *good* thing for what we refer to today as the "blogosphere", because where ever these two go, they'll continue to inform and to influence but they will also (almost certainly!) break new ground; others will follow and the conversation evolves again.AndrewTerryMon, 07 Apr 2008 07:26:46 -0000http://loiclemeur.disqus.com/my_social_map_is_totally_decentralized_but_i_want_it_back_on_my_blog/#comment-281725Agree. With Friendfeed launching an API and being focused on openness, it could end up being, rather than a centralised hub for users' data, a pipe flowing data back to a decentralised set of places like users own blogs. Will be interesting to see what gets build on top of the API over the coming weeks.davidblackSun, 30 Mar 2008 07:06:58 -0000http://loiclemeur.disqus.com/my_social_map_is_totally_decentralized_but_i_want_it_back_on_my_blog/#comment-281715I don't think we're too far away from that now.... At the moment, FriendFeed is very much a *destination* for our decentralised, lifestream data, but as their new API grows and develops, we'll see FriendFeed become a *provider* for our lifestream data; plugins will soon allow us to take our FriendFeed data, and "re-centralise" on/in our own spaces, in our own way.Andrew TerrySun, 30 Mar 2008 06:55:50 -0000http://scobleizer.disqus.com/the_four_footprints_in_front_of_woolworths/#comment-9656600The video of you and Maryam receiving the key to the city is nice: Scoble lost for words...
