Location Still Matters
When all business happens over the internet, does where your business still matter? Yes, says Business Insider, for all the same reasons as before.
Ben Parr writes, "...to discount location would be foolish: it's where we socialize and, for the most part, where we work. We grow to love (or hate) the neighborhoods and cities in which we live. And with the rise of smartphones and GPS, location-based social networks such as Foursquare and Google Buzz have been growing like wildfire."
