Thanks for the info Larry. I don't see the need to publish everything I do during the day. A question, doesn't being a mayor in foursquare give you the ability to get discounts from those places? That is what I have read from blogs. Does Gowalla do the same thing as far as offering discounts based on how many times you check in?

@danfrisco Foursquare no, Gowalla does have featured locations which offer deals, but I haven't hit one yet.

Gowalla better...

you may need to update this Larry - foursquare has made quite a few changes - the Design look and feel gap has also been closed on gowalla

Nice vid Larry. I just downloaded Gowalla the other day but have yet to remember to use it.

Glasklart FTW! I love that theme... and Illumine

I like the comparison review. I would love to see more comparison reviews. There are so many competing iPhone apps that it is hard to choose the right one for any given category. Also, there is a website called 'checkdotin' which allows you to check into Gowalla, foursquare, and brightkite all at once.

Gowalla items almost seems like a virtual geocache. I'll have to check these out... Thx
