"McDonalds beacon case study (retail) 26 McDonald's franchises in Columbus, Georgia tested out iBeacon technology with its customers.

Banjo is a mobile social discovery app that aggregates photos, statuses and tweets tagged with locations. But here's one way Banjo could shine: It's launching a new "trending places" feature, where users can quickly navigate to any place in the world where a flurry of updates are being posted.
