There’s another player in the foursquare/Gowalla “location-based check-in game” competition. MyTown, from Booyah has 500,000 downloads and some 6 check-ins per second (foursquare has just 1 per second). Why the big numbers? Apple featured the Kleiner Perkins funded app on its App Store.
In other LBS news, Gowalla is expected to launch its API “very soon.”
Sascha Konietzke, one of the co-founders of Tagcrumbs and the developer of the free Tagcrumbs iPhone/iPod Touch app contacted me. Tagcrumbs allows you to create placemarks on the go with an iPhone and view them on the web on tagcrumbs.com or Google Earth afterwards. Users can leave digital crumbs (=Tagcrumbs) all around the world, just like Hansel & Gretel did it in the fairy tale.
