"Booyah starts dabbling in location-sensitive virtual goods"
Just commented on this VentureBeat article:
Great to see some people other than ‘the big 2’ in location-based services getting a shout-out, especially fellow UK startup Rummble.
While people often talk about who be be the overall winner in this space, I don’t think it’s a zero-sum game where we’ll see, say, Foursquare becoming the only location-based service worth using. There are enough orthogonals that it’s likely there will be different networks for different purposes - one might be a loyalty card for the places you visit most, one might be to see where your friends are, another to get recommendations and another for location-based virtual goods.
It’s still early days!
This also relates to Andrew Parker’s recent post on Tumblr about startups in general.
