Great episode guys, I’ve played with FourSquare in the past but I dont have many local friends that use it. Gowalla looks interesting too. I’ve used brightkite as well but its missing that “fun factor” that the other two bring to the table.

One thing that ticks me off about competing services such as these is that you want to update all of them at the various places you are at. I say this about just about every web service that it would be nice to use one application that would update the info to all the services.
