The question of whether to invest my engergies in either Foursquare or Gowalla was heavy on my mind. It looks to me from this that as Google is supporting Foursquare, so I should be. Your totaly right as well regarding the opportunity, if you get in quick before everyone else then you'll have a massive advantage over your competitors. I think managing Foursquare promotions are going to be easy to start but difficult to master. I look forward to hearing more! Great post Matt!

I have been playing with foursquare (http://foursquare.com/user/marc_beharry) for a few weeks also and found it to be really useful.

Checked my little corner of southeast Washington state and 14 businesses show up in Foursquare but not mine. Wondering what caught Google's attention on these? It is interesting that Gowalla does have my office as one of 2 local businesses that show up with a site: search. Wondering if Twitter mentions or something else gets the link into Google.
