So for those of you that don't know what Foursquare (4sq) is... (from wikipedia)
"foursquare is a location-based social networking website based on software for mobile devices. This service is available to users with GPS-enabled mobile devices, such as smartphones.
Users "check-in" at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application by running the application and selecting from a list of venues that the application locates nearby.
Each check-in awards the user points and sometimes "badges"."
The last point about badges is what this is all about. Every year on the 16th April is known as foursquare day (as this is actually an american invention its advertised as 4/4^2.. its hard to explain if your not american)
Last year was my first 4sq day and it was an experience if nothing else, so this year I say we should go for the biggest meet up in Europe, to do this we will need some 1000 people at least to attend... Its lucky we still have 11 months to go at the time of writing this.
If you've stumbled upon this by accident and you think you might be interested, please do give foursqaure a try, it's downloadable for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch (iTunes/App Store), Blackberry (Direct Download / App Store), Android (App Store), Windows Mobile and Ovi Nokia Store.
I look forward to seeing you all in April
