Infographic matrix: Foursquare vs Facebook vs Gowalla vs Yelp vs BrightKite vs. Where.com vs Booyah vs. Loopt comparison guide

Image by Mark Fidelman
The location based social networking space (LBSN) fascinates me. And with the arrival of Facebook Places the space is going to heat up fast.
But when I first set out to discover the ideal LSBN for my lifestyle it was a difficult process.

A few desks down, a co …
