The Fast Pitch! online business network has become the first social network of its kind to integrate geolocation into its platform. The network chose Foursquare to power the new location-based feature.
Fast Pitch!'s objective is to improve the efficiency of networking for professionals looking to do business on a social network. Members around the world can now display their whereabouts to other members within their network at any time.
They access the Foursquare smartphone app to "check-in" to a specific location. Within seconds their location is published to their Fast Pitch! profile. Each "check-in" is date-stamped and hyperlinked to Foursquare, which offers additional information about the location including its address and testimonials from previous visitors.
In addition to the new location-based service (LBS), Fast Pitch! features include a press distribution service, email marketing tool and directory of affiliations.
