Foursquare News

It seems like Foursquare pops up in the news every few months. Otherwise, I hear almost nothing about it - perhaps because it’s not yet come to my city of Boston.

This week a New York Times blog reports on the Town Holler, a Foursquare “meetup” of Mayors of certain areas (those who have the most points for visiting certain locations, the “point” of the location-based social network). The system went down just as the event launched, but came back up soon after. Mashable gushes how the app may be the next Twitter. One reason: it’s like Twitter was before Twitter became big.
