This is a guest post by Ellen Mitchell and she explains to us the value of using a site such as Gowalla or Foursquare. Geo location sites are becoming extremely popular, but who do they benefit more…the user or businesses? Is it both?

Follow Friday has probably been the most recognized and popular trending topic on Twitter for a long time. However, I believe its time has run out. It’s no longer the number one topic on Twitter and I’m noticing people usually recommend one person when they do participate. Do you believe it’s seen it’s end?

Do you use social bookmarking often? I for one am not a fan of it. It doesn’t provide me with anything more that a social network can’t give me. Sites like Digg are more focused on “what’s hot” instead of giving everyone an equal chance to be noticed. Should social bookmarking take a lesson from social networks?

I have been noticing a lot of hype around FriendFeed lately. Honestly it has me confused. This social network doesn’t receive any media attention, yet it gets plenty around the blogosphere. New features are always being added, but I don’t see any value it provides. Seems like a combination of two social networking sites I think we all know well!
