Gowalla. Gowalla was a location-based social network launched in 2007 and closed in 2012. Users were able to check in at "Spots" in their local vicinity, either through a dedicated mobile application or through the mobile website. Checking-in would sometimes produce virtual "items" for the user, some of which were developed to be promotional tools for the game's partners. As of November 2010 there were approximately 600,000 users.[2] Overview[edit] "Trips", which as of January 2010 [5] could be made by any user, linked together up to 20 related spots, grouped into categories such as Nature Hikes or Pub Crawls.
Some Spots and Trips were "featured" by Gowalla, being highlighted on their website and awarded a special status and icon. In early versions of the service, users would occasionally receive a virtual "Item" as a bonus upon checking in, and these items could be swapped or dropped at other spots. Awards[edit] Gowalla won the Mobile category in the 2010 South by Southwest Interactive awards.[14] Tracteur, matériel agricole : avis des agriculteurs sur Agriavis.
