Foursquare is the latest social media app to be hyped to the sky. Like Brightkite, it’s an app which detects your location and then you can “check in” wherever you are. However, it seems to be the next big thing. I read about it earlier this week, but in the news reports it said that Memphis was not among the cities Brightkite covered. Well, I downloaded it last night, and they have added Memphis. They have apps for the iPhone and Android and other devices. Visit their site here, or download their app from the App Store.
You get points for checking in at the same location multiple times a day. You get points for checking in at the same location more than a certain amount of times in a week. Hello, Saucer! I’m guessing I’m going to be on the leaderboard for points for this thing.
You also get points for adding new locations, and Foursquare being new to Memphis, there are plenty of locations to be added. I just checked in at home at Number 10 Main and got points for adding it.
Just got out of bed. I thought to myself, “sun’s up, must be about 7.” No, it’s well after 10. I’m positive I’m still drunk from last night. Stupid bars. Not going to make it to brunch but will be at the Saucer around noon for Sunday Fun Day.
