I'm impressed by the number of commenters on the article defending 4sq. A friend of mine regularly meets up with people when they are nearby on foursquare. I don't really hang out with internets people so don't receive that benefit.
When I did use it, I found checking in a little antisocial and obnoxious.
Who uses foursquare?
People who want to be perceived by others as the things that they do (Gym, Tanning, Laundry), the places they go (Fancy Club, Expensive Restaurant, Coffee Shops), and the people with whom they associate (@Famous_Guy28).
- andrewjshults 16y agoI think it also depends a lot on where you are. Being a NYC based company (and that NYC is a high population density city) I've found it useful here (both with people I actually know on it as well as a quick way to look up tips about places nearby). That being said, when I've been in other cities that aren't NYC/SF the value drops quite a bit (I don't have friends in those cities that use it and the number/quality of tips on places isn't the same). The anti-social aspect is probably the biggest issue for really using it when you're out.
