Gowalla
One of the first location-based apps on my iPhone was Brightkite. I liked the idea of leaving a note at places—but Brightkite quickly got boring and I didn’t check in often.
Gowalla makes checking in everywhere and sharing places fun. It motivates its users by rewarding them with stamps on their passports and items in their packs—it transforms everyday activities into a kind of scavenger hunt, not quite like geocaching, but it’s an interactive social game you can play everywhere you go.
I used it for one day now and I really like it. Check it out and visit my profile!
Oh, and for those of you speaking or rather understanding German: Lest euch unbedingt Martins Einführung zu Gowalla im Blog auf Labuschin Webdesign durch!

A friend of mine just showed me this last night on her iPhone. I still am not entirely sure I get it…she checks in basically every place she goes, no matter how mundane. But she wants to become Mayor or something…
