Foursquare, which is arguably the most popular location-based service (LBS) out there today, is seeing a recent surge of growth due to growing awareness of LBS applications overall.
For those who are new to Foursquare, here is the official company description:
Foursquare is a mobile application that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. It is a friend-finder, a social city guide and a game that challenges users to experience new things, and rewards them for doing so. Foursquare lets users “check in” to a place when they’re there, tell friends where they are and track the history of where they’ve been and who they’ve been there with.
Foursquare is viral, it’s intuitive, and it gains more value as it’s use increases. It is seeing increased competition from Google Maps for Mobile, and recently announced Facebook Places, but so far that is only propelling it’s status on the location-based scene.
Foursquare is a web application, with mobile versions for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm, and other mobile platforms. Go check it out and see what you think — Everybody’s doing it!

A small health services company in Sydney, Australia contacted us to let us know about their mobile website they launched recently.
While it is not quite finished yet, we were impressed by how well a small company clearly put the time and effort in to designing and building a mobile website for mobile users. They had identified that over 20% of their web visitors reach them through a mobile device, so they acted on that and implemented a helpful website that serves its audience well.
If you own a small business and do not yet have a mobile web presence, get ahead of the game and start thinking about one. The investment is minimal, and many companies still have time to get way ahead of their competition.

We at MobileMammoth are pleased to share that our free text message tool has just recently passed the 400,000 text message milestone!
Launched in 2008, the tool has enabled thousands of users to send text messages to friends and loved ones for free from their computer. We appreciate the many users who have shared their thanks and words of praise for the tool. For example, we’ve received several emails from military families who’ve used it to communicate to their loved ones deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere overseas. Those are the stories we love to hear.
We are always looking to approve our online text message tool, so please do contact us if you have any suggestions for additional carriers or countries. Last year, we created a tool to send text messages to India as well.
Thanks again to all our users for helping us reach this milestone, and we hope to reach the 500,000 milestone before the end of 2010!

It’s not easy to come up with a fresh idea for dinner each night. Luckily, the Epicurious app for Android offers over 28,000 recipe ideas with just a few clicks on your phone.
Some of you may remember the mobile website we highlighted back in 2007, where we showed how to get free recipes to your mobile phone. Well they’ve been keeping at it with their mobile app for Android and other mobile platforms as well.
Bon appetit!

We apologize for the somewhat cheesy title, but meeting people at bars is actually exactly what this iPhone app encourages.
In BarCards, players take turns selecting a card, and they get an assignment that somehow requires you to meet someone. By showing them your assignment on your iPhone, it breaks the ice quite a bit. BarCards also runs on an iPad, but bringing an iPad into a bar is probably not going to help your cause.
For example, if Maverick and Goose from Top Gun had this app 25 years ago, they would have had a much better excuse to start singing “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling” to Charlie (Kelly McGillis). Now that would be a tough card to turn over.

Today’s mobile website provides quick access to some 38,000 recipes directly from your mobile browser.
It claims to be the largest recipe database on the web, yet the navigation to find the one you want is easy and intuitive. Don’t let the name fool you — while Spudlink is indeed dedicated to the potato, the list of recipes goes far beyond that one vegetable.
Happy cooking!
