@PeteCashmore uses Facebook Places, but no love for @FourSquare?

I find @PeteCashmore to be a terribly interesting individual. I mean let's just face facts ... I'd pretty much jump his bones anytime his loverly GF says it's okay haha!! But for reals ... Pete and I are friends on Facebook. He used to say that he wasn't big on the location based social media game, because if he "checked in" somewhere, people would show up. Dude, totally get it - you're a big deal.

So, why is Pete now using Facebook Places??? He doesn't check in that often, but enough that it clearly caught my attention in my newsfeed, which btw gets a bit flooded at times with so much nerdy lovin going on. You guys are AWESOME! I have to start to wonder if Pete felt a level of trepidation in declaring an alliance with either FourSquare or Gowalla. Pete does follow a much more conservative path, and clearly Facebook Places is only going to introduce location based social media to 500 million of our closest nerdy friends. It's not like it's going anywhere with more than 200 million using Facebook's mobile services. Hmmmmmm ... Either way, it just made me wonder. I knew FourSquare was going to be a way bigger deal than Gowalla, just based on psychology, which is why I contacted them at the beginning of the year. But then again, my value in FourSquare is based on the tips, and general gaming component. Dude, I kick ASS in FourSquare!!! I'm the mayor of things in 3 different states!! Jigga ... jigga ... jigga!!!

It's most likely just a business decision on his end. As to not appear too out of touch with the booming location based space. You gotta be able to walk the walk and talk the talk. Either way, inquiring nerdy minds wanna know!!!
