In looking around the web one cannot help to notice that the rise of location based social networks are on a constant rise. Gowalla, Yelp, Foursquare, and now FB places the options and choices are endless.
If you have not had the chance to try one of these services they all function almost about the same. You install an app on your phone of choice and when you visit a place you see if that place is listed and then you check into the app signifying you are at that location. The idea is pretty straight forward, but locations are now in the process of rewarding those that check in on a frequent basis.
There is a lot of press and news coverage on this new form of location based social network and there is only more to come. The great race to see who can own this space is coming and it will be interesting to watch.
