To put it into generic terms Foursquare™is a location based social application that you use in conjunction with your mobile phone’s GPS. The cool thing about Foursquare™is that it links up with your friends on Facebook® and Twitter to see if they are near you when you ‘check in’ to an area.

Foursquare™also adds a social gameplay element as well by allowing you to collect badges depending on how often and when you check in at a particular location.. Check in to a location more than anyone else and become the ‘mayor’ of that location.

Not all about gaming with Foursquare™

Foursquare allows users to submit messages to everyone about a location for instance, a user might post a message about a great pub near by or what restaurant to head to.
