Will location be the death of Facebook’s dominance?
Facebook Places made a big splash but hasn’t seemed to have moved the needle much - at least anecdotally. Foursqurare on the other hand is coming on strong, might it be the thorn in Facebook’s side that leads to its eventual unraveling?
Now considering that 1) with 165 million Facebook users in the U.S. alone there is bound to be some backlash by young adults against parental “friending” as well as overall loss of interest in the platform, and 2) Foursquare’s raison d’etre is to help people find new things to do in cities, Foursquare can offer college users a unique experience.
