Foursquare

Foursquare
Michelle reminded me about Google Latitude (added me) a couple days ago. That reminded me of the similar, though more robust, Foursquare (originally called Dodgeball, bought by Google and abandoned). Now back and reportedly even better. I say reportedly because Tampa was not a supported city. This is the exciting part - I checked the site and Tampa was added and we can play.



Here's a bit from their site:







People use foursquare to "check-in", which is a way of telling us your whereabouts. When you check-in someplace, we'll tell your friends where they can find you and recommend places to go & things to do nearby. People check-in at all kind of places - cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, homes, offices.



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.







I'm guaranteed a Mayoral Dominance on B&N on N. Dale Mabry. I'll probably add that to my resume.

They don't have a Blackberry application and the generic mobile site is going to be a little difficult for me to navigate on this god forbidden Storm.
I think I may get a Mayoral status at Independent.
