Foursquare 3.0 Has Arrived: Here's What's New

• ashamedlion 16y ago
  I'm impressed with the deals that they've gotten mayors/repeat checkin-ers. I live in Switzerland, and on day 1 of 3.0, they had 5 deals in my area. Generally deal firms have poor support for everyone outside of the major places (US, Germany, France, UK, Italy, etc...) Good stuff.

  The "I just don't get why you'd want to check in" crowd just got their answer. Foursquare was a cool app before, but this new version makes it incredibly useful. The "Explore" tab (basically, recommendations based on your friends and people who go to similar places as you) is a total mobile Yelp killer- at least when it comes to quickly looking for somewhere nearby. I love when a company keeps innovating like this.

    if you like the idea, you should signup cityrend.com, my startup soon to be opened for closed beta. What we do is generating trend maps for LBS users.
