I’ve always been impressed by the Microsoft Map technology

I am little bit late on this but it’s still impressive.

The Microsoft Maps Ted Talks

I’m pretty sure I met this guy on a trip up to meet some of the engineers.

This quick video was made to celebrate half a million fans on facebook, I wonder what they will do when they get to one million.

Through some ghetto research I would say Foursquare is gaining popularity

By Alastair | Published: January 22, 2010

I am just doing a little research on Foursquare for a project I am working on and I would say they are going through some pretty incredible growth.

As of just now they have 282,606 users.

There’s a pretty simple method of counting users via quora.com user @angusdav

To get an up to date answer, you can go to http://foursquare.com/user/-240000 and change the trailing number to your best guess. You must use “The Price Is Right” algorithm: you can guess right and be under, but if you go over the answer, you will be redirected to their home page.

Location based services like foursquare are going to get really big this year. It’s going to be interesting to see how they grow and how and if advertisers can integrate their service offerings.
