Google v. Foursquare - Who Will Be the Winner?

According to ABC News, Google is directly taking on Foursquare and creating its own version of a location-service check-in game. Both of these services allow users to check into a location, share it with friends, and earn points on a leaderboard just for showing up.

And even though both of these games are in competition with one another, Foursquare does not seem phased. Erin Gleason, a Foursquare spokesperson told ABC News "far from concentrating on what others are doing, we're 100 percent focused on continuing to build an amazing product that changes the way people experience the world around them."

I guess we will all have to wait and see whether the service Google Latitude or Foursquare prevails as the winner of the location check-in competition.

Best of luck to both competitors!
