An interesting recent announcement (via mocoNews.net) is the idea that you can swap Foursquare check-in points for paid content of the Financial Times. Foursquare did already have various specials based on check-ins, being mayor etc., but this deal swaps on-line “currency” for on-line digital content, which is a completely virtual trade.
Google announces yet another mobile search feature (currently US only) that allows you to consult nearby stores for product availability. It’s not only to find out if they sell the product you’re looking for but also showing whether or not it is in stock now. That allows you to decide to go to that store right away and pick up the product. Very convenient indeed.
Also interesting is that stores need to participate in the Google program tying them further to Google.
