The Foursquare Clock (by kirgy9)

It tells you what kind of venue someone is located in, and how long they’ve been there.  Kind of reminds me of the clock in Harry Potter.

Who is winning the war to be king of Location-based SM? Foursquare and Gowalla face-off in this infographic.

Foursquare Cops keep the city safe for check-ins. Respect the Badge!

One App to rule them all? Try Check.in

My loyalty divided between @Brightkite, @Foursquare, and @Gowalla, this new app allows me to check-in accross multiple Location-based Social Media using their APIs.  In other words, no more stumbling across the stratosphere apps just to broadcast my whereabouts at the next happy-hour hotspot.

It’s from the team @Brightkite (my first love in location-based SM), who have been up to some interesting experiments lately.  This app solves a growing problem, even as location-broadcasting is starting to tip in the mainstream.

Every time I check, @Foursquare is displacing @Brightkite when people want to meetup IRL. Their success is astounding.

We had 242 checkin at the Boxee beta party last night at Music Hall of Williamsburg last night!  (I snapped this pic just before my battery died)  World Record?
Seriously, from URDB:  (68 was the old record)
“Largest Group To Check In At The Same Venue On Foursquare At Once”

Oh, and 242 of us also scored the Boxee badge :)
(ps:  user pics = beta build = coming soon!)
