FEWER CHECK IN
- Only 4% of US online adults have ever used location-based social networks, such as FourSquare and Brightkite, on their mobile phones.
- And only 1% use them more than once a week.
- But they are 38% more likely than the average US online adult to say that friends and family ask their opinions before making a purchase decision.
- And are typically college educated young adult men.
- And are also far more likely to search for information aboutbusinesses and products, as well as read customer ratings/reviews of products and services. – Demographics/Technographics Of Location-Based Services from Forrester Research [TABLE]
