Scvngr Pro. SCVNGR captures first prize in business plan competition - EQN. University Welcoming Wave. June 18, 2009 Mary Cross newwave@tulane.edu Groups of students and parents bustling around the uptown campus in the New Orleans summer heat signal that the third year of summer orientation is in full swing at Tulane University. This year promises to be a unique experience for both parents and students as innovative programs have been developed to welcome new members of the Tulane community. Incoming first-year students (from left) Sarah Mollere, Brittany Bozzell, Alonna Murray and Katherine Moser study their orientation guides. Orientation has been divided into seven two-day sessions to accommodate the 1,120 incoming students who have signed up for the optional sessions, along with 749 parents, who are arriving in waves. “They will spend one night in a residence hall, register for classes, obtain their student ID card and most importantly, begin establishing friendships that may very well last a lifetime,” says President Scott Cowen.

Companies in the hot location-based services space are frantically trying to come up with the next step beyond the very simple act of getting users to check in or announce their presence to friends when they arrive at a bar or a restaurant or a subway train. It’s generally agreed that location services need to create a deeper experience. But no one agrees on what that should be. Coupons, special deals, stories, and games are just some of the ideas being batted around.

The check-in, as popularized by companies like Brightkite, Booyah, Foursquare and Gowalla, has worked in introducing users to the whole concept of sharing their locations. This is a sentiment shared by Booyah’s CEO Keith Lee, who said the company is looking beyond the check-in to create “an experience people can be loyal to.” “But it is what it is,” said Williams. So, the question is how to connect the real world with an application that runs on your smartphone.

The Boston Globe Takes Readers on Mobile Scavenger Hunt. The Boston Globe is encouraging mobile users to hit the streets of Boston and learn a little more about the city's attractions with a new checkin-based scavenger hunt. If you think the publication is using Foursquare for the promotion, think again. The Boston Globe has turned to SCVNGR — the sophisticated mobile scavenger hunt and checkin service — to facilitate the activity-fueled, location-based challenge. The Boston Globe Trek includes challenges that require players to snap photos, scan QR codes and check in at various locations across the city in five different theme-based challenges. The Photography challenge, for instance, tasks players to snap photos of Boston landmarks. SCVNGR is perfectly suited to be the mobile platform for this particular quest. This may all sound like frivolous fun, and for most it will be, but The Boston Globe is also giving away some top notch prizes to the players who accumulate the most points by September 3.

Royals head to New Zealand Share cancel. The New England Patriots Recruit SCVNGR To ‘Help Vince’ Wilfork. Over the last few weeks, the New England sports press has been scratching their heads over mysterious T-shirts they received from The Patriots that were emblazoned with the words, “HELP VINCE“. The shirts obviously refer to NFL star Vince Wilfork, but give no indication as to what he needs help with. As it turns out, he’s “lost” his Super Bowl Ring, and he needs help finding it — and the Patriots are giving location-based startup SCVNGR a major publicity boost in the process.

You see, starting today the Patriots are running a large-scale Help Vince campaign across New England as the team looks to engage its fans in the offseason. And to do that, it’s turning to SCVNGR to power an array of Patriots-themed location based challenges, badges, and treks as users vie for prizes, which include a grand prize lunch with a member of the Patriots squad. The Patriots will be promoting the ‘Help Vince’ campaign across New England with TV spots, billboards, and more. Update – video:
