Bulletproof’s Weekly Web Wrap-Up offers a compilation of key discussions regarding social media’s increasing relevance to business.

It’s official; location-based social networking is rapidly going mainstream. In just the last week, Twitter has added geo-location capabilities to its website and Facebook has announced its own plans to add location-based functionality. Emerging social media sites, such as FourSquare, Google Buzz, and Loopt, all offer geo-location options as well. And at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference going on now in Austin, Texas, even more location-based social media platforms and tools are expected to burst onto the market.

This week’s Wrap-Up covers ongoing location-based social media developments, as well as tactics for how companies can best use these tools to grow their businesses:
