Foursquare reminds me of this fake RPG called Progress Quest[1]. It's like SETI@Home, but for RPGs. In other words you do nothing while it automatically advances progress bars on the screen and your character advances and there is nothing else to it. Ironically, a lot of people actually wind up running it for quite some time, myself included, but then the joke ends and they stop. To me, it seems inevitable the same will come of Foursquare.
