Foursquare is a location-based service allowing users to check in throughout the day claiming their location, collecting “badges” and offer tips to others. It’s taken up a relatively small amount of social media real estate, and it’s user base is still small in comparison to the social media giants Facebook and Twitter. However, it’s gotten some press recently after reporting its user statistics for 2010: up to 6 million.
6 million isn’t a lot, but for Foursquare, it’s a 3400% increase!
