Foursquare, the “location-based social network” has become quite popular. All the cool kids are doing it, so I better too! I just saw today that even Harvard has joined the game, and is taking part to show prospective and current students where to go on campus. I have been meaning to check it out for a while, but keeping up with what’s awesome in Social Media is crazy enough, sometimes, isn’t it? So, I just downloaded Foursquare to my blackberry, which unfortunately unlike the iPhone is still in Beta version. Hopefully the kinks are being worked out! I’ll share more of my thoughts as I begin to play with my new social media toy.
What are your thoughts on Foursquare? Are you one of the cool kids?
I’m one of those cool kids. It’s a service that’s easily forgotten about amongst the myriad of apps on my iPhone though. I’ll only resort to it when my Google Reader and inbox are empty when I’m waiting for Seedling Cafe to finish making my lunch. Even then, I’m still somehow not the mayor of Seedling Cafe (WTF?).
