Foursquare and Groupon...will it last?

Here's something we all heard for some months now and, apparently, it is actually already working.

However, here's the question: will it last?

Here's why I ask myself this: Foursquare already has partnerships with most of the daily deals' companies, such as LivingSocial or BuyWithMe. So why would they need another?
Well Groupon has the biggest media attention (most of it paid), so it makes sense for Foursquare to take a "slice".
However, Groupon is rumoured to be having a not-so-healthy business at the moment (check the Yahoo Financial article).

So the thing is, with Facebook already trying to do this (joining deals with location based services), will this partnership hold-up?

My guess? It will, because both companies are very mature in their own field,unlike Facebook, that still as a long way in LBS and Daily Deals.
However, let's see how it rolls out and if Groupon will keep up.

What's your opinion on this?

Kiip: An amazing concept - Prizes for gamers..

Hi everyone,

I had the opportunity of coming across an amazing concept that is being developed and put into action.
The company is called Kiip and the concept is basically to give mobile gamers (by this I mean people that play a lot on their mobile) a real prize for their achievements.
Here's the "How it Works" video:


Kiip: An Introduction from kiip on Vimeo.


What does this mean? Well, basically, you'd be awarded a Starbucks Voucher, a Netflix subscription or any other prize (just examples) for going from level X to X+1.

The beauty of it? It's actually giving people something when they are in a moment where they are happy, because they went to a new level in a game they love. So, if you give something to someone at this point of the game, people will gladly accept it and (probay) be more prone to redeem it (at least I would).

Kiip was founded by Brian Wong, a very young canadian entrepreneur.
I leave you with the interview of Brian Wong to Kevin Rose (founder of Digg), where you can check his experience as an entrepreneur. Worth seeing:

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Portugal: Estupidez política do Zé Povinho

Meus amigos,

Tudo bem que estamos com problemas políticos graves e económicos a não ajudar.
Mas vamos lá ver uma coisa: O que nos ajudar votar em Branco???

Tenho visto muita gente em variadas redes sociais a pedir, não o voto, mas o "não voto", ou seja, em branco.
Mais ridículo ainda: "Não votem no candidato A ou B", em que o nosso PM demissionário, José Sócrates é o visado em 99% deles.

Isto deixa-me pasmado e deixo a seguinte pergunta: Estamos num jogo de futebol, onde dizemos que só queremos é que o Benfica ou o Porto não ganhe?

Tudo bem que o PM não teve a melhor prestação, longe disso, durante o seu mandato (à excepção dos seus primeiros 3 anos de mandato, onde foi um bom PM e com boa Governação, na minha opinião), mas daí a que o caminho para a solução seja este é ridículo.

Votem em alguém: seja o Sócrates, o Passos Coelho, o Paulo Portas ou outro, pelo menos VOTEM!!!
É esse o caminho para a solução, termos soluções, alguém que as proponha e as execute, não queremos um vazio, porque isso só nos levará à desgraça total: Anarquia.

Deixo o meu apelo ao voto, seja ele em quem for, não deixem que outros decidam por vocês, sejam homenzinho e mulherzinhas e escolham o vosso representante (não façam como alguns que até andam em Petições internacionais para que os votos brancos contem e que isso se traduza em lugares vazios na AR).

Por favor, NÃO façam como estes senhores:

Tenham pulso e personalidade.
