Most people know that 4sq is still in its early adopting stage, with tech oriented adults using the game to compete with each other most! I like how services like Rummble (http://www.rummble.com) have taken the 'friend finder' concept a step FURTHER by integrating with the twittersphere... I've heard that on their newest iPhone app, users can actually see what is going on nearby based on any Tweet in that area. I've dug a bit deeper and guess they started datamining in the twittersphere a while ago through an experiment to match a tweet's sentiments with a physical venue. To me, this will prove sustainable and useful, and integration with social media like this will prove the most useful in getting mainstream 19 year olds to use any LBS service! Thoughts?
