Tampa’s Real Mayor Checks In On Foursquare

  I’ve been proud that Tampa, the birthplace of 4sqDay, has had progressive capital-M-Mayors that have supported the social-media scene and foursquare in particular. For the first 4sqDay, Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio issued a proclamation declaring April 16th to be “Foursquare Day.”  In 2011, Mayor Bob Buckhorn invited me to participate in a 4sqDay ceremony (that’s me behind the tree) and declare a Foursquare Day Mayor of...

Check-in for a social good

We love highlighting creative and helpful uses of foursquare. 4sqDay contributor Mareks Matisons recently wrote about a recent example on his blog.

Add remember, in addition to helping plan a rockin’ 4/16, we are also helping make every day a 4sqday, so show us your pics! Email us any...

Foursquare Bangalore: “Where had you been all this time?”

While we are gearing up for 4sqday 2.0, I found this great guest post from 4/16/2011. Better late than never…   Bangalore is no different from a dream city if you really exist online. Its common to see people peeping into their mobile apps while they’re waiting and boarding a bus, crossing streets when lights go green, sipping coffees, and who knows on toilet seats (I do all that too). Social media has its place on taste buds for people...
