WOW, I love foursquare and use it all the time, but 10+ checkins a second – I’m just not doing that much stuff in a day meaning the have great utilization from users – something we all strive for.  Just think what will happen when business start learning how to capitalize on using foursquare themselves!  The almost a million mark will seem like a distant memory.

Do you Foursquare?  I do, follow me on Foursquare @ Aejaie S.

Offering freshly prepared foods can not only increase the total amount spent, but increase the number of products purchased and the number of visits in a 30 day period.

So, next time your in for a quick lunch, try your local convenient store, it’s not just for lottery tickets anymore.

Take a look at NPD’s finding here

Several weeks ago I wrote a post about social media and sports.  Today, the NFL came out with it’s attempt to control social media.  The difference between the two policies is the NFL’s policy only affects players, coaches, officials, personnel, third-party representatives, and even the media  from updating their status, blogging, or tweeting 90 minutes before a game until post-game interviews are completed.

While the NFL may be able to maintain the policy banning social media for the time being, the real questions is what’s the benefit to the NFL in banning social media?  nothing really other then limit the amount of additional exposure the teams, players and league may get.  How many men would love to read a tweet or facebok post from a player moments before hitting the field or the excitement a player feels right after scoring the winning touch down.

One would think with all the amazing marketing minds at the NLF , they could figure out how to make money on the idea.  Then again, maybe they just haven’t had enough time to develop the plan to make money with twitter and Facebook, but give them time, I’m sure they will.

What do you think of professional sport keeping players and coaches from expressing themselves before and after a game?
