What is Foursquare?
Foursquare is a location service-based social networking game, desined to give users a fun and engaging platform for themselves and their clients/friends to explore their city. Users can earn points by visiting city destinations, and unlock badges when discovering new things. The below video provides a walk through if the main features of this mobile technology.
In a nutshell, Foursquare helps users learn more about their city and engage with locals in six steps:
Step 1: Download application to your cell phone, and add your Facebook and Twitter friends. If you do not have Internet, use texting.
Step 2: Tell you friends/contacts where you are in the city via your cell phone's GPS system.
Step 3: Read local tips and recommendations for things to do or places to avoid.
Step 4: The more you use Foursquare, the more you can unlock badges and earn points.
Step 5: Check in at a local more than anyone else, and you become a mayor.
Step 6: Use Foursquare whereever you go to help plan a spontaneous day.
