If you get really popular and stream lots of video and do more, you may need to get more bandwidth. If that happens, you can usually find ways to pay for the bandwidth.

]]> Comment on Two Apps Enter, One App Leaves: CauseWorld Takes On Foursquare… by Wobba Fett http://www.whatgives.com/2010/01/06/two-apps-enter-one-app-leaves-causeworld-takes-on-foursquare/comment-page-1/#comment-2806 Wobba Fett Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:32:00 +0000 http://www.whatgives.com/?p=1615#comment-2806 CauseWorld actually keeps me going. I have used both Four Square and CauseWorld at the same time. Literally I installed both at the same time. I find myself using CauseWorld more then FourSquare. The idea of free stuff doesn't suite me as well. Doesn't even motivate me to go to places at all. But with CauseWorld, I find lots of motivation to go to places. Check-In. Save/Use Karma Points and help out organizations. Yes, its more restricted then Four Square where as you can go to multiple places, and get counts for 3 at a time. I'm sadden that you can only do 10 check-ins for 50 Karma Points (I read that there was at a time each checkin was at least 20points but now its down to 5) But it just shows how much people are dedicated to check in. Even when they shrunk the number down to 5 points. Also CauseWorld does respond to certain requests. Which organization would you like to help out and stuff. I even asked if they can change back the karma points to even 10. They said its up for discussion the next day. They are also pretty funny too. I have nothing against FourSquare or anything but it lost my interest pretty quickly. CauseWorld actually keeps me going. I have used both Four Square and CauseWorld at the same time.
