Not Many Americans Use Location-Based Services

Facebook Places, Foursquare and Gowalla are all hot products in the much-hyped location-based social space, but according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, only one percent of Americans use location-based services on any given day. Not surprisingly, the highest concentration of users can be found in adults between 18 and 29–with eight percent–and adults who use their mobile phones online–with seven percent.
