What is Foursquare?
Foursquare is a mobile, location sharing, social media tool, in which users earn points as they check in at
venues they visit during the day, with an option to broadcast their location to friends via Twitter, to let others
join them there.
Foursquare is half scavenger hunt, half flash mob, as users compete by earning points and badges
depending on the frequency, the locations and the types of venues at which they check in. For example, the
most frequent visitor to check in at any given venue is awarded the "mayor" badge of that location. The
"Swarm Badge", is awarded to a group when 50 people "check-in" at the same location within a three-hour
time-frame.
