Mobile Interpretation: Geo-Social Consumers: Inverting Privacy Perimeters
Interpret Insight
With major social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter set to incorporate geo-location
functionality, geo-social networking is poised to go mainstream.

Utility Entertainment

ability to integrate location into applications spurred an explosion in services ranging from traffic
navigation to geo-tagging photos to guides to public restrooms. One area of location-based services
receiving a great deal of attention is social networks such as Foursquare and Gowalla. However,
while these geo-social applications share much in common with other geo-located services, they also

and Around Me are utility-driven, geo-social applications are geared more towards
discovering new entertainment venues like bars and restaurants. Additionally, services like
Foursquare and Gowalla
