GowallaI saw through my Twitter stream someone using Gowalla, and was curious to what it was all about. Gowalla (@gowalla on Twitter) is a site made for people to share where they are in the world. Might sound a bit like telling too much or a way for people to become a bit stalker-ish, but those on the go and use to being social, this is a way to allow people who are interested to know more about you.

You can share if you had a beer or shopped at places like the Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois. Or if you have been to a place that has not been covered, you can create a place, or as they say at Gowalla, ‘pin’ a place.

The site is really user-friendly and allows you the option of connecting your Gowalla account with your Twitter and Facebook accounts. The systems is even courteous enough to check through your followers to see if anyone is using the system, so you can friend them at Gowalla too! :)

Gowalla even has a couple phone apps for users to be able to check-in and automatically update on their profile.

Have you tried Gowalla? What do you think of it?

    I just started using GoWalla myself. I'm at a slight handicap with it installed on my iPod Touch but they say a Blackberry version is around the corner (my primary device). I think we're in for some interesting times. FourSquare.com is off to a fast start and Brightkite.com is still unique as they run as a more traditional social net with posts and pics. In light of all this new activity in location based services I've reacquainted myself with Loopt.com as well.
