Checkin Bonanza

Facebook is rumored to be launching its own location based checkin service, foursquare and gowalla are getting more hype than a red sox/yankees championship game being played on the moon. Everyone is all about checking in. (But what about standing out?)

I’ve mentioned this before, but I think QR Codes should play a role in the technology of checkins. It forces a check in to be physically located in a given place, not just nearby or walking past and it adds a layer of interaction between the patron and the business.

No major revelations here, just something I have been thinking about lately amongst all this hype.
