According to research done in the fastest growing segment of the mobile device market smartphonelar two years. Smartphoneların first design is based on actually quite old. In 1992 that our country does not yet know the concept of mobile phone company, while IBM's calendar, address book, calculator, notepad, which can send and receive e-mail to a mobile phone design. Simon called this device is released by the firm in 1993, BellSouth and the mobile phone market began to change.
Simon opened the door were very interesting models that Nokia, HP, Ericsson and Palm pass. However, the turning point in the smartphone segment of the market has to offer RIM's wireless access technology with the BlackBerry e-mail will facilitate the exchange. Apple's iPhone in the smartphone market then will produce the most vibrant segment in the mobile device becomes.
These developments in the market place along with the device and application and content providers also led to a significant change occurred. With the rapid adoption of consumer products, these new "smart devices" has touched every area of differentiation was a kind and almost a new ecosystem was created.
applications developed for the iPhone and similar devices, the most popular ones among games and navigation applications. In the United States these days One of the most prominent applications based navigation application by Foursquare.
Foursquare'i other navigation applications, but a crucial difference that separates those at the same time functioning as a social network. Classical location-based navigation applications only. So for example, or the nearest point of the cafe you can go with friends to see movies they make. Urban information system designed to take advantage of even the most advanced navigation applications are the most visited places on the advice of people you can.
Yet as the slightly different concept of foursquare. Dennis Crowley created by the users in the application of different restaurants, bars, art galleries and visit their friends' houses as they collect points. Collect enough points, or "to visit 20 different pizza places" special tasks, such as those who earn badges as they had nearly a tracker.
Crowley enthusiasts with a complete game a few years ago while jogging in New York, by the way similar to those of popular Nintendo game Super Mario saw a mushroom. Crowley on the daily lives of those within the human mind can socialize and have fun and to design an application that could have come.
Crowley was first designed for this purpose is a location based social networking software applications, the dodgeball. In 2000, the last dodgeball activities in the United States is extremely interested in a short time of reservation designer Dennis Crowley and Alex Rainert 2005 they sold to Google in the application. Moreover, these two creative minds of Google itself has been included. However, their bilateral Dodgeball'u Google is not enough freedom for development had resigned from the company.
Google, separated in 2007 Crowley was a long-term unemployed. Crowley was unemployed during this period to remove it in the middle of the Foursquare application with their friends rather than a new business venture is designed to communicate easier and more fun to argue.
Foursquare finally released in 2009, soon became a very popular practice. Currently the application's existing 1.5 million Foursquare use, especially among young people is increasing. Gained a great popularity in a very short time, this location based social networking and gaming applications to mid-large companies are looking into the claims against them in the tight marking. 125 Million Dollars for Yahoo's Foursquare spoken remove it from the eyes.
New York-based Foursquare'in available, but only 17 employees, provides services all over the world. Nevertheless, the phenomenon has become almost an already uncertain future of the service. To be taken too seriously because a lot of the world say there is a very interesting explanation for the Foursquare Crowley says: "So far, no investment is not the end but did not fail. The fact that this failure is only a matter of time! "
