Posted by BJ on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 5:30 pm. 0 Comments.
We are excited about our new partnership with New Canaan's Iblast Card (I Buy Local and Shop in Town). Last year, we were a sponsor and greatly benefited from all the promotion Iblast Card did for us.

In my last post I talked about Facebook’s integration of “Places” and how it changed (or doesn’t) the social media landscape. The tale of Facebook’s late, well-planned, and well-executed entrance to the geo-location space followed by Foursquare’s and Gowalla’s single-file submission to Facebook’s geo-location system reveals what Facebook has become. It is no longer the social [...]

Facebook ‘Places’ is not in Foursquare’s space[s]
Posted by Michael on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 11:09 am. 0 Comments.
