Good question, I have at least 12 of about 20 friends who have installed the application, tried it once and said "not for me." edit(typo)

  That's what my friends and I did. I had a couple of check-ins and thought, "what's the point of this?"

    Haha, this is the same exact thought when I was introduced to Facebook in 2007. "Okay so...I can uhm..look at pictures of my friends and write messages to them through tiny boxes? Okay, why would I not just use Email?" I was sure the website would be a failure. They even required you to register before showing you any content! How could that ever work? Actually I still have no idea on that one.

    What's the point of producing (checking in)? I'm not sure. Good karma for the benefits of consuming? But consuming, yes there is a gain. You can use the "explore" feature to see what's a good place for [X] in your radius. Doesn't just limit to your neighborhood though. I used it when traveling in Bangkok to verify local suggestions to which bars/clubs are good. Or when you're in Vegas, you can see which hotel's club is going off. If a place has 4 check-ins vs 5 vs 12 vs 20, then you can extrapolate that the "20" place is poppin'.

      For the average user the benefits really are slim. I'd consider myself an early adopter and giver of a benefit of a doubt to most of these sites, and i've certainly suffered check-in fatigue. I go into 4sq maybe once a month now. MAYBE. The deals in it aren't that exciting, badges don't interest me, maybe i've gotten burnt out on it.

Well, according to TechCrunch, they are averaging 3M check-in's per day. Even if the average check-in per user is 1, that's 3M DAUs (which is highly unlikely). My guess is between 1M-2M DAUs with average of 1-3 check-in's per user per day.
