Market Your Business With Foursquare

foursquare

Foursquare is one of the hottest social networking sites on the planet today, with over 1.5 million users worldwide and could be good for your business.

Foursquare describes themselves as a mobile application that is a cross between a friend-finder, a social city-guide, and a game that encourages users to explore their neighborhoods and rewards them for doing so.

Basically a Foursquare user launches a cell phone app and "checks in" after they arrive at a local business. By checking in, they can tell friends of their location, share tips and earn points. As points accumulate, status badges are earned, with Mayor being the top prize. A person becomes Mayor of a business after checking in the most often in the last 60 days.
