Cool Apps in Android Marketplace: FourSquare
First of all, it’s been 8 months since my last blog post. That’s actually quite ridiculous, I agree. I would say that I was “busy” as most people do – however, I really hate that word – and so I won’t. Plain and simple, I have no excuse 
The good news, though, is that I finally decided to give FourSquare a try on my new Motorola Milestone by Telus. It’s a pretty cool app. Essentially, the app allows you to “check in” to different locations in your city – or around the world – same concept as checking into a hotel. Whenever you check into a location, you get points. If you add a location into the app that didn’t exist before, you get even more points. It’s essentially a game – as with most games, the more points you have, the better off you are… surprise!
The most interesting part of all of this is that some local stores have begun rewarding people who check in a lot to their location. If you are the person who checks in the most to a specific location, you become the “mayor” of that location. Some pubs for example, offer a free drink to their “mayor”. Today, I added two new locations to FourSquare… give it a try… it’s quite entertaining
