Let me tell you about my latest obsession, Foursquare. Y’all need to sign up. It’s so fun. I’m still a newbie though. Ok so what is it? It’s a social networking- city guide- sorta like twitter-thing. It’s perfect for traveling to a new city too. You can see what the local like, where they like to go. The app is free and it’s so much fun! I tell you now, I’m gonna be a mayor soon! You get a crown! Well, not a real crown, but a crown symbol on your profile. I might just wear a crown in real life so people will know I’m the mayor! Here’s what their site tells you:
| First things first – let’s get foursquare on your phone. Your best bet is to download either our iPhone app or Android app. If you have a Blackberry or another phone with a web browser, you’re best off using mobile website (and yes, a Blackberry app is in the works!)
If you have a phone that doesn’t have a web browser, you can use our SMS shortcode to check-in by sending messages to 50500 (like this: @ Ace Bar ! enjoying happy hour). Sorry, but this works in the US only for now. |

Check-in to placesPeople use foursquare to “check-in”, which is a way of telling us your whereabouts.

You’ll find that as your friends use foursquare to check-in, you’ll start learning more about the places they frequent. Not only is it a great way to meet up with nearby friends, but you’ll also start to learn about their favorite spots and the new places they discover. Continue reading “Foursquare” |
