A new Social Media site called foursquare is making lot of buzz in the market. Its a location-based social networking website, available to users with GPS enabled mobile devices, such as iPhones, Android mobile phones, Symbian devices and Blackberries. Users check-in at venues using the site through their mobile devices by running the device specific application and selecting from the list of venues that the application locates nearby. Each check-in awards the users some points and sometimes badges.
Millions of users turn to foursquare every day to help them find their friends and explore their world or even to avoid some of them. Whether checking out a new restaurant or visiting their favorite store, people are sharing their activities and loyalty with their social network, earning badges and points along the way.
foursquare has come up with its 3.0 version which introduces the recommendation feature in place of the tips tab enabling the users to post queries for recommendation. In my opinion this feature would work wonders for restaurants in India as people believe in what others have to say. Also there could be a possibility of planting or seeding comments/recommendations as we are way ahead in doing jhols. Here is a sneak to the 3.0 foursquare application.
