I use twitter, fb, and 4sq for different reasons. Plus my phone is almsot always in my hands - so it just happens naturally lol (addicted to iphone)

lol what different reasons? unless you're using it professionally (like my roommate does, for her fashion design business), it's all same shit
FB can be used as Twitter quite easily, updated via the phone

Twitter is for more random thoughts or sharing links - I dont want to flood my fb with 30 status updates a day. Foursquare is more a game that I will get tired of once I get all the obtainable badges.

fair enough
I just think it's somewhat useless waste of time..

+1

That's exactly how I think about each service.

msg board is not the same as a social network - it's like a chat
I don't get why everyone needs to update 3 separate networks of people of their whereabouts and "thoughts"

and TV comparison is just a fail, Tara, sorry

Originally posted by smuncky , foursquare isn't only about just checking into places, it's also a game. It's competitive. that's another aspect I like about it that Facebook doesn't talk about having in their version.

I like that foursquare is somewhat exclusive. People have hundreds of friends on FB, and many like girlfriends you skipped out on cuz there's a hockey game on at the bar instead of shopping at IKEA with her, or not visiting your mom cuz you tee off in the afternoon.

Mayors of Starbucks Now Get Discounts Nationwide with Foursquare

Starbucks, a company that already rewards frequent customers with the Barista badge on social gaming app Foursquare � is officially turning on the rewards side of its experimental Foursquare loyalty program with the first-ever nationwide mayor special.

Starting today, mayors of individual Starbucks stores can unlock the Mayor Offer and enjoy a money-saving perk for their frequent store checkins.

The deal offers customers a $1 discount on a Frappucino. The special greets mayors with this message: �As mayor of this store, enjoy $1 off a NEW however-you-want-it Frappuccino blended beverage. Any size, any flavor. Offer valid until 6/28.�

Tristan Walker, who heads up business development at Foursquare(), tells us that the Starbucks special is a one-time mayor deal that runs through June 28, but he�s optimistic that Starbucks will continue to experiment with mayor rewards on an ongoing basis. �Starbucks is particularly innovative as it relates loyalty and social media,� Walker noted, �so we continue to be super excited to explore this intersection with them.�

There are a number of reasons why the Starbucks nationwide mayor reward is significant. It�s a first for both Foursquare and the coffee retailer, and will likely bring mass attention to the marketing possibilities of the location-sharing trend.

It�s also an important development in light of pending Facebook location features, which we�ve yet to see in the wild. Starbucks � which is one of the most �Liked� brands on Facebook � is making a conscious choice to go with Foursquare, which should serve to legitimize Foursquare as the key player in the space for now.

On the consumer side of things, getting a $1 off a Frappuccino is a pretty nice discount, considering customers routinely pay $4 or more for their favorite blended beverage. Of course, with the mayorship rewards, we expect competition to heat up on Foursquare more so than ever before. As such, it will be crucial for Foursquare to ensure that their new anti-cheater measures work as designed.

How do you delete your acct???

I was in Montreal over the weekend, and went to Baskin Robbins in Old Montreal, checked in, got the bonus, and they wouldn't honour it. Gave me some bullshit about it being valid only from between 4pm and 7pm.

These specials are still in their infancy, and the retards behind the counter are not yet up to speed on technology and their promotions. There was no store manager at the time to validate my discount. sucks.

Why would Baskin Robbins honour a Ben and Jerry's promo???

If you found this easy to spot, you shouldn't have found it so hard to find the "delete account" link in foursquare.

I <3 Geocaching! I have the app too The free app is simple and always basically functional. The $9.99 full version is worth it because you can update your finds while on the go.

But Foursquare different... it's more geo-social networking like tweeting locations visited in case you run accross each other closeby, while cometing for virtualy ownerships (Mayor) and getting badges like boyscout achievements.
