Event Details

Come learn about location-based services with Social Media Club of Columbia!

Join us at The State as Will McCain (@willimac) and Ashlie Conway (@ashlieconway) lead our discussion on services like Gowalla and FourSquare.


Ever used a location-based service? Want to start?  Join us this Thursday as our guest speakers will be Will McCain, self-professed  "proud geek" and Gowalla user. Ashlie Conway will also be speaking on FourSquare for businesses.


Why are location-based services (LBS) important? According to Mashable:

"Numbers earlier this week from research firm Gartner agree with this assessment: the number of users of location-based services is set to double to 95.7 million this year, up from 41 million a year ago, which should result in over $2 billion in revenue. With more and more iPhone, Android and mobile apps taking advantage of more readily available GPS and LBS technology, we have to ask: what’s next for location-based services?"

So join in the discussion! We want to hear what services you've used, which you like, and which you don't.
