Even with the announcement of Facebook Places I’m still quite fond of Foursquare.  It’s not being the mayor, it’s not the badges, it’s the way I can connect with peeps on a different level.  That said, one of the cool things I like about the network is the way they catalogue your accomplishments...

I'm bringing this one back just because I really like what Gary says. From Seth Godin’s blog here’s Gary V… Linchpin: GaryVee from Seth Godin on Vimeo. What do I do? I build Custom Facebook Tabs for Business. Two of them – one for Visitor to LIKE Conversion and the other for Engagegment. That’s m...
