		<title>What&#8217;s next: social networking &amp; geo-targeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that social networking sites are almost "old news" these days. As a media platform, social networking sites (SNS) have been around since the late 1990s, and today the popular SNS Facebook.com boasts more than 350 million active users (nevermind all those people who've registered for accounts never to actually use them).

So what's next for SNS? For 2010, geo-tagging and geo-targeting appear to be the latest trends. The AP recently reported on the emergence of the SNS Foursquare.com as one of the latest buzz-sites. What's the buzz about? Foursquare - which currently has over 100,000 users in 100 cities - is basically a social network for your immediate circle of friends (and a way to meet people nearby). You report where you're at currently, and where you've been recently, and it's mapped and tracked on Foursquare. The catch is, you earn points for checking in to locations, and the most recent person to check in becomes the "mayor". So you compete against your friends to earn points. It sounds simple, but can become very addictive.]]></description>
