The document discusses the future of location-based services (LBS) and check-ins. It argues that while check-ins and badges on apps like Foursquare were clever to gain initial users, they will not be enough long-term. The future of LBS will involve more contextual personalized notifications and interactions between users and nearby businesses to provide deals and information. Short-term expectations include more social calendar integration, communication between businesses and customers nearby, mobile payments for local deals, and location-based games. The value of LBS apps needs to increase to outweigh privacy concerns for mainstream adoption.

20. Checkins and badges are not the future
of LBS, but they are a very clever way to
get there.
So what can we expect?

Many People say that privacy is the main issue
for LBS ser vices to become mainstream, I
disagree.
Privacy is a popular thing to say every time a
new phenomenon comes up.
Real people care a lot less about privacy than you
might think. This is IF the bene鍖ts are substantial.
Take a look at facebook. Sharing pictures ---->
getting a job.

Present LBS services are not bringing
enough value for the user. The cost of
checking in (and share your location data)
are to high for the mainstream user in
comparison.
It just takes time for people and
businesses to understand
