Location-based services are great for talking about local things, but ultimately I have more to say about things that aren’t specific to where I am in my day-to-day life.

People are bored of Tweets about the mundane things you’re doing, and prefer to hear about your ideas and things you’ll share that have meaning to them. Foursquare and similar services sort of limit you to talking about local things, so when you’re not at an exciting event, you’re not saying much on it.

I think since Twitter, there’s been a lot of other great tools that have failed, just because they don’t have the established user base, even if they did have nifty new features, it’s just not enough.

Also agreed, combining the technology with existing networks has some real potential, and I believe Twitter has already enabled it for developers. Though I agree it makes much more sense with Facebook, because there’s more value for geo-location within your ‘real friends’ vs. Twitter followers, who could be anyone.

Thanks for coming by!

I just read that 1.45% of Canadians use Twitter (compared to 19% of Americans), and that’s the current big thing. The cool social potential in location-aware mobile technologies diminishes in proportion with people’s social networking burnout. Now build this into Facebook…
