For those of you unfamiliar with Foursquare, it’s a service where you “check in” to places (a Starbucks, an event, a restaurant) and then, if you wish, you can share that info (with a comment) to your network on Facebook or Twitter.
The person who checks in most frequently at a location becomes “the mayor.” Sometimes that brings privileges, but mostly not.
It’s interesting to me because it is part of the new era of “Location-based services,” but the other day I saw something that was a first for me.
It’s probably been done before, but Adam checked in at the courthouse and then announced that “at long last. I am now divorced.”
It really is a new world, but certainly an easier way to get the word out.
