At UNC Charlotte we’re using Foursquare to connect with our students and offer them promotions for on-campus dining locations and university-branded items like rally towels. We’re hoping to expand into adding tips & to-dos to our locations and more tightly targeting (by location, by date & time, etc.) our promotional messages. We still have a lot to learn about how to really take advantage of the Foursquare platform, but we think it has tremendous potential.

I think this is a really interesting concept. Like you said, this is definitely an idea that needs to be extremely focused, which makes me wonder how practical it is. I’m an implant to Chicago from a small city in Ohio. While I can see the concept working here, it’s not something that would reach my hometown anytime soon. With the most popular social media sites (Facebook, twitter, youtube) being sites that are equally useful to people in big cities, small towns and every place in between, how likely is it that hyper-local networking sites will be the next big thing? If it did become big in larger cities, is this something that could eventually be implemented in smaller cities?
