Verizon's adoption of social mapping/sharing service Loopt into its daily service is a clear sign that interactive marketers will need to pay attention to wireless social networking experiments. Right now they're at a fledlging stage, but I think soon marketers will need to know how to leverage them.

I completely agree.  This made the WSJ Saturday too.  There is going to be a HUGE generational split on this one, even bigger than the split on wireless apps and SMS.  I don't think Gen X and 1/2 of Gen Y will go for this level of transparency just based on the pushback FB saw with Beacon.  I think Millenials will jump on it, and try to configure the best privacy settings.  Interesting from a parent perspective.  If the parent pays a 17 year old kid's bill, can the parent force the technology?   That's a tough call for Verizon and the others. 

Well written blog, btw!  Enjoyed it.

George
