Comment on OpenVBX: A real win for FourSquare (and other location based services)

Comments

I just wrote it as a proof of concept during a weekend hackathon but people really liked it so it was spared from the bit bucket.

I started out working on a similar feature for my own VBX platform (OtherNum.com) but once Jeff showed me OpenVBX I immediately ported all my "plugins" over including my integration with Chirbit.com and MyCaption.com.

I wrote more about the impact OpenVBX had on my startup OtherNum on my tumblr: http://tumblr.gleep.org/

Ultimately, the 4square piece is a tiny piece of the OpenVBX world but I think what it shows is the potential to integrate your phone infrastructure with the world around it.
