o you have a go-to restaurant you love – a place where everybody knows your name? If you’ve been checking in there from Google Latitude in Google Maps for Android, we want to help you get a little extra love right back. After launching check-ins for Latitude last month, today we’re rolling out our first check-in offers at more than 60 great places in Austin, Texas.

Checking in from Google Latitude lets you easily share the places you go with friends, and you can even choose to get check-in notifications or automatically check in to make it even easier. In addition to sharing places, you can also gain status as a “Regular”, “VIP”, or “Guru” at places depending on how often you’ve checked in there. You can even see your progress along the way by tapping your current status. I’ve been checking in almost everywhere I go, and after a steady stream of caffeination at my favorite coffee shop, I’m proud to be a Guru there!

Foursquare 3.0” announced !

Includes a great ‘Consumer Recommendations‘ feature -  “Explore”  and a range of new specials / loyalty mechanisms for merchants and with it they’ve really revised the way users will interact and find venues – and because of that SMB’s have the ability to benefit more than ever before.

Firstly some quick Foursquare stats

Foursquare is nearing 7.5 Million users worldwide, 93% of them have joined in the last year. In that same year, there have been 500 Million check-ins. All signs are that FourSquare is becoming more fashionable here in the UK, so don’t get left behind, as I have said on this blog before Its not too late to be early” !
