Foursquare for Fun in Tucson

Foursquare has been around for awhile, but not in Tucson. However, that all changed this week, (at least I think it was this week).
You can now go to Foursquare.com and sign up for an account. Add an app to your mobile phone or log into the mobile website.
You play by checking in where ever you are in town. If the location doesn’t exist in the database, add it. Collect Badges and see where you are each week on “The Leaderboard”. Going on vacation. Switch locations and start checking in where you are.
As Foursquare grows you might find when you check in there is a coupon waiting for you there. All in all it is for fun.
Foursquare is an on the go Techno Geek game. Those that have been playing it for awhile enjoy being the “mayor” of their local Starbucks or grocery store. Of course I’m already the mayor of McDonalds at Thonydale and Tangerine.
Tucson is the smallest metropolitan area to be included in the game. (I’m guessing on this but think it is so). While it is a game it is also another way to be involved in community, meet new people and expand those growing online friendships started with Facebook and Twitter.
Want to be the Mayor of Starbucks at Grant and Swan? Go for it.
Speaking of which, I could use a cup of Pike Place myself. Think I’ll go check in. See you later.

I love playing Foursquare! It’s nice to know Tucson gets to enjoy the game too. Last week while I was there the Game kept saying “Let’s pretend you are in Phoenix!” No, Tucson is NOT Phoenix!
Happy Holidays to you my friend!
