My list of Location Based Social Networking sites
Posted on December 20th, 2008 2 commentsI compiled a list of Location Based Social Networks I visited while researching for my previous posts. Per request of many readers I’m posting the list in a separate page.The general impression I had after putting all of them together in one page, is that many of the LBSN are “me too” applications, and at this point I can’t pinpoint one that present a marketing message with a unique offer, a distinctive value proposition or main differentiators from the others. I included standalone sites, and applications that complement as add-on Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, YouTube, etc.
The directory is provided as “info only” without recommendations or endorsements. I’ll appreciate though, if you can review the list, and leave your comments.
The page is dated December 20, 2008. It would be interesting to review it in one year time and see if it grew, shrunk or consolidated.
For the list PRESS HERE or press the LBSN Links button in the top menu.
Please leave your comments, and Link/share/quote/ping. For additional posted comments follow this link
Thank you for your support!

Great blog, good list — its interesting because most of these are just location that is static or by travel and of course on the mobile — but I am thinking we will see this evolve from location to presence like IRL Connect – adding presence to all of your social networking and social media connections.Presence I think will change the way people actually connect to one another – growing both your digital life but also enriching your real life.
