Its all about time I am afraid. Foursquare, Google+ FB, Twitter, Linkedin.

Hard to balance resources with results….

We **should** be practising what we preach of course..

I made a comment about this post that was courteous and professional. I disagreed with you but that doesn’t seem a reason to censor me. Why was it removed??

[...] EXPOSED: UK PR Agencies fail to understand Foursquare | raxraxrax.com With this in mind, it’s worrying that UK PR agencies have failed to embrace Foursquare with open arms. Given that registration is free and it is very simple to set-up an account, why have so few consumer PR agencies in the UK ignored location based social networks like Foursquare? [...]

Hi Rax, Graeme here from Brazen. Interesting post, PR's should certainly be practicing what they preach. If they fundamentally fail at experimenting with new social mediums for themselves, such as Foursquare, what qualifies them to advise clients on the matter? On another note, just like to add that Brazen is indeed on Foursquare and has been since it expanded 'up North' late last year (We're here!) . Manchester seems to be a little slow on the uptake of users but its launch up here was dwarfed by the publicity generated when it first hit London. Much appreciated if you could amend the list of shame... Cheers, Graeme. Brazen PR

Rax – great post and well thought out.

Thanks also for the link to my article on the potential for Foursquare at http://L0N.eu/4sqftw – I think Foursquare will shine in 2010.

I’m starting to rate agencies on the basis of their “Foursquare welcome mat” that is laid out for me (or not) when I swing by and checkin for a meeting.
