I particularly like #4 and if more people utilized foursquare in West Lafayette, IN, it might eventually have some value for me. I only used foursquare for about four days before I gave up. I had only unlocked 2 badges and was the mayor of the CCO - which is where I work. I guess I'm impatient. I agree foursquare can impact an individual's personal brand if used appropriately - but something about that seems inauthentic. A personal brand, to me, is who we are, not who we present ourselves to be. Since we can choose when and where to check-in on foursquare, it can easily be manipulated to present only what we want it to - and not sitting on the can at Circle Bar:-) You make some good points, Hajj.

It will be interesting to see how Foursquare continues to evolve. It has a great deal of personal brand potential. If you have any additional points that I didn't capture you can post them in the comments for others to see. Dave,
