25% of American Adults Use Location-Based Services [Infographic]

Location-based social networks were one of the top five trends of 2010. Nowadays, location is baked into pretty much everything that developers do. Mobile and social apps are location-enhanced, not location-based. You still can, however, "check in" somewhere using geosocial networks Foursquare, Gowalla and Facebook Places.
