If you’re planning to attend Celebration Believe & Achieve 2010 in San Diego this year, you can use Gowalla to check-in to certain areas at the event.
So what is Gowalla? It’s a geosocial media tool. Translation: it’s another way to let your friends know where you are and what you’re doing. If you have a smart phone with GPS, you can download the Gowalla app and check in to various places.
You can also set up lists of places worth visiting, called Trips. We will be setting up two Trips at Celebration for any Associate on Gowalla. These are places we feel you should check out and check-in to while in San Diego—don’t worry these trips won’t interfere with the actual event. People who complete these trips will win special prizes at the Social Media Road Show table!
OK. Why Gowalla anyway? For starters, it’s a great way to let the world know where you are. If there are people hanging out at the same places as you, you can connect with them on Facebook or Twitter. For an event like Celebration, you’ll be in a convention center filled with fellow Associates – so there will be plenty of people you’ll want to meet.
And of course, there’s that whole prize thing. 
We’ll have stickers around Celebration to let you know you’re at a check-in location. If you get them all, remember to pop by the Social Media Road Show table to claim your prize. We’ll keep giving them away until we run out.
You can get the Gowalla app if you have one of the following kinds of phones:
- iPhone
- iPad
- Android
- BlackBerry
- Palm
Or you can check in at m.gowalla.com to use their mobile site.
Once you’ve created an account, link your Facebook and Twitter accounts to it. That way, when you check in, you can leave messages that automatically post to Facebook and Twitter for you. It’s a great way to add more content to your other social media profiles.
A word of advice: No site is fun to set up on the spot with just your phone. So if this sounds like the kind of thing you’d be interested in using at Celebration, visit http://gowalla.com and create your profile before you arrive at our biggest event of the year.
Don’t forget to friend us at http://gowalla.com/users/Isagenix either!
Greetings from California! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, good site!
