Are You the Mayor?

Do you play Foursquare? Not the game kids played at recess, but the game that allows to unlock your city and become mayor. Foursquare is spreading like wildfire with people finding their friends, sharing their location, and earning points and badges.

With Twitter and Facebook overpopulating, Foursquare allows you to find your friends easier. It helps small businesses and can even get you free things.

The New York Times posted an article sharing the benefits of Foursquare:

“For a small business with a limited advertising budget, it’s a great way to promote ourselves,” said Olivia O’Neal, owner of Sugar Mama’s. The shop offers Foursquare mayors a free cup of coffee each time they come in, and regular patrons receive their 10th cupcake free. “There are about 67 people currently working on those offers, and for a small family-owned business like ours, that’s a really big number,” Ms. O’Neal said.”
