Hi Ben,

Thanks for the comment. I totally agree, like any social media interaction between brand and user I think there has to be an element of what does the user get out of the interaction. Offering freebes, discounts or exclusivity for example.

I do think that Places and location generally will take time to mature but once ingrained and accepted will allow us to be even more selfish and localised. Brands will need to tailor their offers and propositions in a much more personal and local way. Which may be easier for some – e.g. having a store.

I think the idea of Facebook credit (which they are pitching as a digital currency – which sounds ominous) linking with Places is very interesting and logical step.

Thanks for the comment.
