FourSquare - Checking In!

I spotted that a friend at work was using FourSquare on his iPhone to Check-In on facebook so being the inquisitive type, I headed off to their website to see what it's all about...

In a nutshell it's away of letting your fellow FourSquare friends know where you are and what you've been up to - you can also link it to Twitter and Facebook so when you check-in to a location on FourSquare it will automatically post it on those sites as well.

You can achieve different 'Badges'  for visiting different places and you can even end up being the Mayor of a place if you've been their so often!  I guess one of the ideas behind the site is that if lots of people check-in at a business such as a retail outlet then they can arrange for special offers to be sent to those people if they check-in there at a certain time/day.

If you want to see what it's all about then click on the link/image below.
