It's the latest in what we as social beings want to share. I think an important part of place is the gaming element behind these services. Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp, Whrrl, etc all provide not only an opportunity to share feedback/comments/recommendations/pictures with others but allow me to engage in a game. I think the leaders in this space will continue to focus on building relationships with businesses while also building their platform to encourage fun/gaming.
