Foursquare is Blowing Up
August 22nd, 2010 MobileFreak
Foursquare, which is arguably the most popular location-based service (LBS) out there today, is seeing a recent surge of growth due to growing awareness of LBS applications overall.
For those who are new to Foursquare, here is the official company description:
Foursquare is a mobile application that makes cities easier to use and more interesting to explore. It is a friend-finder, a social city guide and a game that challenges users to experience new things, and rewards them for doing so. Foursquare lets users “check in” to a place when they’re there, tell friends where they are and track the history of where they’ve been and who they’ve been there with.
Foursquare is viral, it’s intuitive, and it gains more value as it’s use increases. It is seeing increased competition from Google Maps for Mobile, and recently announced Facebook Places, but so far that is only propelling it’s status on the location-based scene.
Foursquare is a web application, with mobile versions for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm, and other mobile platforms. Go check it out and see what you think — Everybody’s doing it!

I’ve been using foursquare for a while now. And i can easily say that it is indeed one of the most rapid growing social media applications ever! And it’s fun and intuitive to use as well :)
Thanks for such good views. I think alike. Foursquare is really wonderful site like other top social networking sites. its main feature is, it support almost all tech gadget like iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm, and other mobile platforms.
I heard about it somewhere else though, and I’m pretty sure they will still grow in that amazing rapid speed.
No wonder, foursquare is being run by people who worked at Google almost from the start, they are brilliant, and decided to do their own thing when they noticed an opportunity.
