Comment on Redesigning Foursquare’s User Pages by Panke

Looking good my friend. I guess my teachings have suited you well. I am not a huge Foursquare advocate and when I look at the designs, I have to ask myself one thing: “Would and/or do people spend time on foursquare.com?” I feel, and I could be wrong, most people use Foursquare to check into locations. But would people use all the good information presented here. You are pulling in a lot of different social media outlets and relating the information to help the user. But maybe this isn’t for Foursquare. Maybe it is the beginning of the next level to aggregating your social networks. There are so many now, your personal site/blog, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, Linked In, Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube, Dailymile, blah, blah, blah…you get the point. But we don’t spend time on any of these sites anymore because we only want the relevant content to “me.” People are using Tweetdeck, for example, to aggregate the networks. But “me” doesn’t care about the network. “Me” wants only the content relevant to “me”. So maybe you are just thinking too BIG for Foursquare. That’s all. Good work!

Man, did they ever SHRED that front disc. Surprised that they held on to it as long as they did. Blowouts are scary.

Thanks, man. Been using the Alpha for a week, and it made me write longer and more cogent text than I’ve ever written.

All: really glad you liked the post. It was a long time coming.

Gautam: Thanks for the comment, first-time-commenter. I think you’ve hit it, it’s not just the data that’s interesting, but the metadata surrounding the *actual* data, whether that data is structured or not. I like the bit about the varying levels of care regarding the photographic datasets, and I wonder if there is a correlation between physicality and care.

Jen: In re: paranoia… I think the issue is that we don’t know what entities are doing with the data, and there’s a point in the Economist article about most consumers likely being impressed by what Amazon, Netflix, et al. are doing with data, rather than fearful…if they only knew what those companies were doing with their data. For me though, the biggest problem is that other people have some level of control over my identity, from check-ins to Facebook tags to Flickr uploads. Regarding mass media: if you knew everything about everybody, would there be a need for *mass* media? Or would we need something new?

Johanna: All your points, just…right on.

Greg:

That’s a shame. I wonder if Chemex is *right* for some tastes and this is *right* for mine. I am drawn to the beauty of the Chemex system, though.

Thanks for the comment.

This is so good.

“by the way, I forgot to write about that, ZOMG thanks Undercurrent for hiring my best internet friend” om nom nom yay. I thank Undercurrent for hiring MY best internet friend first and dragging him to NY!

“but you can make them do something that’s very similar to something else they’re already doing.” - Super point. I guess that’s in part why we dove into all this stuff so early and quickly; because we’ve been documenting our lives in some way for so many years anyway. And it was the same behavior but just on a different platform. Of course that makes sense.

“But a world where data are used to make decisions within a deeper field of context feels like a better one to me, and it feels like a world with less advertising and more desirable information delivered efficiently to the people who desire it most.” This reminds me of that thing Mike said last week re: brands just needing to get better at connecting their offerings with the people who will want it most. This definitely seems like the way we’ll be able to move toward that…

Excited to read that Economist article, thanks for posting that.
