Foursquare

At first I was excited to see an app on blackberries and iphones called foursquare-could this be the childhood game from Deep River Elementary that I would bare freezing conditions in the months of January and February to play for a mere 20 minutes at recess?

Sadly, NO. But it's something cooler! It's an app that tells people where you are but it's more than GPS. Say you're at a restaurant, someone who has been there before can give you tips on the best thing on the menu instantly. If you frequent a place you can become a "mayor" allowing you freebies at bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. All you have to do is show your phone when you walk into a bar and once you register with Foursquare they'll know how many times you've been there.



Everyday I find new things that I really wish I was in the US for :( But oh well... eventually!
