I’ve had a chance to play with an ad-hoc build for the past couple of weeks, and it’s great. It significantly improves two key areas: Usability and its social layer. See Who Else Is Here The most important new feature of Foursquare 1.4 is that it now allows you to see who is checked into any venue at any given time. While previously, you had to rely on your main “Friends” tab to see a stream of where people were checked in, now you can click on any venue, click on the new “People” tab, and see who is there.

At the time, the functionality only worked for mobile web users or BlackBerry and Android devices, but that’s no longer the case. Now iPhone users who update to the latest version of the app — version 1.4.3 — can share their Foursquare activity on Facebook too. You won’t notice the new functionality in the app itself; the Facebook sharing is actually enabled and configured from the settings panel of the Foursquare website. The process is no different than for the other devices, so you’ll need to allow Facebook to access and publish your Foursquare activity, and once you do, you can choose to share check-ins, mayorships and unlocked badges.

The following day, they saw the biggest day in terms of usage ever, apparently. This past Saturday, Foursquare was averaging more than a check-in a second, according to this tweet from the official account. Some quick math tells me that this means they must have seen over 86,000 check-ins in that 24 hour span.

As long as they’re iPhone (or iPod touch) related, they’re fair game. So who’s on deck this week and what are our picks? Find out after the break! I am really getting into the whole location-based check-in concept. There are several tools out there but my favorite right now is foursquare. The app and service is free, it scans Twitter, Facebook and your iPhone’s address book for friends. This makes finding friends that use foursquare easy. You have weekly leaderboards to compete with friends and a todo list of places to check out. Give foursquare a try!

When you visit a great pizzeria, for example, you can send a ping out that says you've been there along with what you think of it. This replicates the functionality of another app, Foursquare [iTunes link], which is steadily building up its own social network prowess (you may have seen the "mayor of" tweets lately -- that's Foursquare doing its thing, either on iPhone or through a desktop interface).

We hebben over Foursquare de afgelopen dagen een paar keer geschreven. Foursquare zou een totale make-over krijgen. De nieuwe versie 1.7 is vanaf nu in de App Store te vinden.

Gowalla v2.0 first and foremost features a new design that is said to be more readable and usable than ever.  You are also now allowed to upload photos after checking in and browse photos from friends, and checkins can now be commented on.  Speaking of checkins, you are now able to come back and add checkin messages for instances where you have skipped typing a checkin message because you just didn’t have enough time. Other Gowalla 2.0 features include: Gowalla‘s competition, Foursquare, also received a bit of a facelift today in v1.7, featuring quite a bit more color and a lot less black.  But unlike Gowalla, the rest of Foursquare‘s additions are fairly minimal, only including faster and more Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:27:45 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appleiphoneapps/~3/O49AZ-13Ovg/ Apple iPhone Apps (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Mashable/~3/wX82kQReKhY/ by Last week, an App Store error got the latest version of Foursquare for the iPhone into a few users hands a little bit early. That hiccup resulted in the app briefly disappearing from the App Store before finally returning early yesterday. Now the newly designed version of the app is in the App Store and available for everyone to check out.Foursquare 1.7 features a new design, faster checkins and shouts, plus an easy way to view your checkin history. The app also features pull-to-refresh, a la Tweetie 2 for the iPhone. The app is a lot more responsive in our tests and the new interface is a big enhancement.

Foursquare, one of the most popular location-based social networking apps out there, has just launched an overhauled version of their iPhone app on the AppStore. With the new app in hand, SXSW attendees will be able to more easily boost their Foursquare street-cred. The new Foursquare app sports a completely redesigned UI to commemorate the app’s return to SXSW, where it first debuted last year.

(Yeah, that doesn’t mean 3.2 is coming to the iPhone or these are 1024×768 versions, likely just that they’re built using that SDK for maximum blackboxing on the iPad).

The service competes with the likes of Gowalla, Yelp and more. As it continues to gain popularity, we are seeing it offered via a variety of different mediums. For those of you who aren't familiar with the service, it is a fairly simple concept. The idea is to provide users with a way to interact with the places they go and share experiences with the community around them. When a location is reached, users can "Check In" to that location and record it. This will earn users points and if a person visits the location more than anyone else, they will become the mayor of that location.

Out of the three, FourSquare just got mightier with the deal they signed with MTV and VH1: Fist Pump! MTV Networks’ MTV and VH1 have inked a deal with location based social media company Foursquare. The deal will see the service integrated into MTV and VH1 programming, as well as spots pushing users to join the service and “friend” their favorite cast members. The companies will utilize Foursquare’s new “celebrity mode,” which lets people follow celebrities, even if they don’t know them personally. When a celebrity “checks in” somewhere, they can send the check in just to their friends, or to all of their followers.

Der iFund war im März 2008 mit $100 Millionen US-Dollar gestartet. Großspurig hieß es zur damaligen Zeit, dass man mit einer solchen Finanzierung “ein Duzend Amazons.com oder vier Googles” starten könnte. Exakt zwei Jahre nach dieser Ankündigung ist von den kleinen Finanzspritzen an unabhängige Entwickler nicht viel zu sehen. KPCB zieht trotzdem ein mehr als positives Fazit. Der iFund hat sich 14 (!) Firmen gewidmet und erwartet daraus Umsätze von $100 Millionen Dollar im laufenden Geschäftsjahr 2010. Spielentwickler Ngmoco (Rolando II, Eliminate Pro, We Rule, etc.) und das kalifornische Start-Up Gogii (textPlus) Inc sind zweifelsohne erfolgreiche Exemplare.

Probably my favorite to date has been FourSquare, which I love because I'm the "Mayor" of a couple dozen locations. But this type of app isn't for everyone. My wife, for example, says that she thinks they're a bit too much like stalking (to which I replied, "there's an app for that"), so she won't use them. Rally Up is a new location-based social network (that's so awkward to say) that has several features that may sway my wife. The free app for iPhone, and soon for iPad, lets you set granular friend preferences. What does that marketing speak mean? Easy -- you set your real friends to "real" on a slider, which means that they get full notifications (i.e., "Steve is at the Blue Bonnet Café) and their check-ins show up in your feed.

En ambos casos, podemos dejar comentarios en los lugares donde vamos, pero en Gowala, además, podemos subir una foto del lugar. Los premios que ganamos al ir acumulando “check-ins” son diferentes, en foursquare son medallas y en Gowalla son objetos cotidianos, como un juego de maletas o una guitarra.

In versie 1.8 van Foursquare zijn een aantal bugs gefixt, maar er zijn ook een aantal kleine uitbreidingen toegevoegd. De zoekresultaten voor locaties die je krijgt als je ergens wil inchecken zijn verbeterd. Ook kun je voortaan een melding doen wanneer een locatie dubbel voorkomt, een noodzakelijke functie met een groeiend aantal gebruikers. Een andere nieuwe mogelijkheid is het uitnodigen van vrienden vanuit de applicatie. Ook kun je van alle gebruikers bekijken waar ze mayor zijn. Eerder kon je alleen per locatie zien wie daar het vaakst ingecheckt is, maar de lijst mayorships per user was tot op heden enkel via de website opvraagbaar. Nog niet bekend met Foursquare?

Foursquare is a popular mobile check-in application that lets you share your location with friends on a place-by-place basis. You get completely frivolous (but fun) rewards for checking in regularly to the same spots, and if the locations aren’t in Foursquare’s database, you can add them yourself.

OK the truth is: this isn’t a real breakup from micro-blogging 140 characters or less, just a simple break for me to have some space, to explore, to let my Blackberry sew it’s royal oates with another downloadable app. I could go into an “it’s not me, it’s you” diatribe, but after a while, I’d lose track of the fact that I found something sort of new, and it’s Foursquare. This weekend was all about getting acquainted with the new location-based blogging community on Foursquare. Actually it was just Monday when I succumbed to downloading Foursquare to my Blackberry.

Foursquare is very addictive. I joined on April 2010 and unlocked my first badge here then Hubby also joined a few days later, unlocked his first Newbie badge here. At first we played for fun, made a few new places in town. By that time not many players yet amongst our friends so we were like having many places as our teritories. Foursquare lets user become a Mayor if we frequently check ins at particular places. Users should "check-in" or "Shout" at venues using a mobile website, text messaging or a device-specific application for BlackBerry, iPhone, Android or Palm. Our check ins then awarded points and sometimes we unlocked cool "badges" depends on venues, times or how many check ins we have to do to get a particular badge.

About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches.

Similar applications allow you to publicly announce your whereabouts, with Gowalla and Foursquare among the most popular. At least they were. The Washington Post is among the seemingly endless sources that report once a user “Checks In”, their location is broadcasted on both their personal and public feed. Security adjustments can be made within your profile to change just how known your want your movements to be. This seems certain to be a dagger to Foursquare and company, but Facebook’s approach doesn’t have the add-ons that other apps have. In Foursquare, you’re awarded various badges and even mayorships based on the frequency and uniqueness of your visits. Places seems to simply announce your position Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:57:49 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/iphonedlb/~3/c-zxWZDJBsA/ iPhone Download Blog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/iphonedlb/~3/LtHC5gigP9M/ Continuing in my short lived residency here at iDB is my Friday rant that is usually based off a particular story in the week that rubbed me the wrong way.

I will preface my outburst by informing you all that I am one of the few individuals I know who doesn’t have a profile in the world’s biggest social platform. I had one for less than a month and every lousy expectation I envisioned came to life. I have no bones to pick with users who have Facebook accounts. If I did I would have almost no one to talk to.

If he opened the foil on the burrito ever so carefully and turned the wrapper into a piece of origami art -- and if he uploaded a picture of his creation to the app, the note said, then he would earn points toward a free burrito. Priebatsch thought: That might be fun. "I made a really weak origami crane, because I'm no origami artist myself," he said, but "it got me closer to unlocking a free burrito, which was cool." SCVNGR, which Priebatsch helped create, is one of the latest apps to build on top of the idea of a "check-in," that emerging term some tech-savvy people use to describe the act of using a GPS-enabled smartphone to share their whereabouts with friends.

In his rebuttal statements on the competing service, Crowley also promised a completely new version of the iPhone app with functionality that would be like “Instapaper for the real world.” The wait for the new iPhone app is over — version 2.0 has arrived. In version 2.0 [iTunes link], Foursquare emphasizes Tips and To-Dos, which are now split up and given prominent placement in the application’s bottom navigation bar. The emphasis is not application specific, as Foursquare will now also connect the dots between web discovery and mobile activity. The goal is to encourage app users to look at Foursquare as a way to easily save the places they want to visit and store activities that might be of future interest.

The free location-based social networking iPhone app gained even more awesomeness (their description, not mine) today with the release of version 2.0. What's new? A to-do list for organizing your explorations. You can search for a location, and then add it to your to-do list. This would be handy for reminding yourself about restaurants that friends have tipped you off to. To-dos can also be added via websites, if they embed the button on their page (think Instapaper for location-based to-dos). Another new feature is that friends, tips, and to-do items can now be displayed on a map, nice for figuring out where you were planning on going, where your friends have gone off to, and what you were going to do when you got there.

This version has been the subject of much speculation for several weeks, as everyone wants to know how Foursquare is going to keep their momentum alive. With Facebook Places now out in the wild, and slowly rolling out around the world, Foursquare is well aware they need to move beyond simply being a check-in service. So have they? As we suspected a couple months ago, there is a new emphasis on both Tips and To-Dos in the new version of Foursquare. Specifically, in the iPhone app, these features now have their own separate buttons for the first time. And on venue pages, it’s now easy to both add a tip or mark a venue as something you want to explore (to-do) later. Both of these features are somewhat interesting and could be useful, but unfortunately, neither are new.

In the past, the two were lumped together in the same tab, with subcategories separating the two. For those uninitiated, Tips are messages you leave behind at places you check-in to using a mobile app, while To-Dos act as reminders to check-in to locations you haven’t been to before. In order to give To-Dos even more visibility, they’ve introduced a new “Add to my Foursquare” button, which allows web visitors to instantly add a To-Do item for a location they’re visiting. In addition to providing location-based specials to users like usual, this is a great way for businesses to rope in mobile-savvy customers. You can see an example of the button in action over here at Eater, or if you would like to implement a Foursquare button on your own site, just find Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:41:47 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/O_UUF5EvMmM/ IntoMobile (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feeds.ismashphone.com/~r/typepad/1209935315s4903/ismasher/~3/F2Y8Eduaq0A/iphone-and-ipod-touch-apps-for-september-28-2010.html ...new iPhone app will change the way you interact with wine.

There’s also a fresh round of bug squashes, UI improvements, and code optimizations, all of which are welcome. Foursquare’s presence here at the BlackBerry DevCon has been significant, with a check-in challenge that eventually offers attendees a snazzy exclusive badge and a t-shirt. For those unfamiliar, Foursquare detects your location through GPS, lets you announce where you are visiting to Facebook and Twitter with an archive of locations, and if a spot isn’t there, you can add it. Users can add tips to places (like “don’t get the shrimp”), or tack on to-dos for locations they want to visit. Metrics are in place that keep tabs on when and where you check in, which can result in special virtual badges earned for particular achievements.

With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:36:46 GMT http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/40_ways_iphone_can_improve_your_day Mac|Life (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/RG4G8bfZTJk/ After some development work from Nokia, location-based social network Foursquare has launched a Symbian application, complete with a home screen widget which displays the latest check-ins by your friends. Now Symbian users can check in to locales and share that spot with friends, as well as write up tips, line up to-dos, and create new venues where there weren’t any before. For those uninitiated with the check-in craze, Foursquare uses your phone’s GPS to determine nearby locations (stores, restaurants, businesses, etc.), and allows you to virtually check-in at those places, as well as share said check-in to Facebook, Twitter, and other Foursquare friends. You can earn badges for checking-in in particular ways, or even become the “Mayor” of a business for checking-in most frequently there. Sometimes there are real-world discounts or perks, depending on the participation level of the business, but usually Mayorship is entirely superficial.

In it, they have named the top Apps of the year, and gathered them all up into one page so that they can easily be found. Let’s take a look at their top Apps in each category. On this list, you will find Apple’s best apps of 2010. Everything from best iPhone games of 2010 to best educational apps of 2010.

Yes, they created a way for you to use Gowalla to check-in on Foursquare (and Facebook). Why would they do that? Because they said that users told them they felt the Gowalla experience was better, but many of their friends were already using Foursquare. So what did that Gowalla experience include that Foursquare didn’t? Well, comments and pictures, for starters. Well, you can strike both of those off the list today. Yes, Foursquare is finally adding both highly requested features to the service. At first, they’ll be available on the iPhone app and the website, but the plan is to quickly get them to Android (next week, we’re told) and BlackBerry (next month). And the service has three other high-profile startups on board at launch to help with the picture element: Instagram, Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:15:47 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/WzbHY2d6CVY/ TechCrunch (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=ab32da1e52eabea79cdede41f358134d Proving that we are well and truly ensconced by the 21st century, Foursquare has finally added photos to the check-in experience. We can only begin to imagine the technological mountains Foursquare had to scale in order to implement this much-wanted, but dauntingly-hard-to-implement feature. There's also a brand-spanking-new first-party Foursquare iPhone app. You can now also comment on check-ins (above right), which should make the synchronization of schedules and meet-ups easier. To make the most of both photos and comments, there is now a History page on foursquare.com, which you can visit to see all of your previous check-ins -- including any photos and comments. Foursquare has been working with its partners to make the most of the new functionality, too: Instagram and Foodspotting will both automatically create 'photo check-ins.' For now, the only mobile Foursquare client for Android is picplz. WebOS is coming later this week, and BlackBerry in January.

I enjoy using the Foursquare iPhone app to check in, gain or lose the mayorship of a location and occasionally get one of those cool badges that they award to users (I'm particularly proud of my Jobs, I'm on a boat! and JetSetter badges). The free app has just been updated and now adds two fun features -- adding photos and comments to check-ins. This is handy, since I currently have to use multiple apps to a) check in and b) send photos of delicious food to friends. Now it's all possible in one app. There's also a history page on the Foursquare website where you can see all of the places that you've visited.

Officially debuting yesterday in Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market, the free Foursquare 3.0 app has added a new Explore tab that can zero in on the places you want to go. Tap a certain category, such as food, nightlife, or shops, or type in a specific phrase, such as "books" or "gas station," and Foursquare will show you a list of local spots, anywhere from 2 to 10 miles from your current location. For each spot, you can read recommendations and comments from your friends and other users, helping you decide whether to check it out or steer clear.

With Foursquare, it is speeding up the check-in process, which should get people to use it even more. A new release of its iPhone app puts a new check-in button smack in the middle bottom of the app, removing at least one step to check-in bliss. Before, you had to hit the “Places” button first. Then pick a place, and then check in. Now the Places button is gone, replaced by the Check-In button, which brings up nearby places.

The pioneer in location-based social networking has expanded their check-in service to include more than just physical locations. Now you can check in to events that are only going within a set timeframe, with custom UI elements for sports events, movies, and concerts. Foursquare is teaming up with a variety of partners to populate their event database, so no user-created events for now, unfortunately. On the plus side, it means that when you check in to a theatre, you can also share which movie you’re watching. Traditionally, Foursquare stuck with sharing where you’re spending your time, and offering points, mayorships, and badges as incentives to participate. Other social networks like GetGlue have been around to share what kind of entertainment you’re enjoying, but as we can see, these two things are quickly starting to Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:42:31 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/nGOKc0RHZ88/ IntoMobile (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/ayahani15/statuses/111080951915888640 ...- foursquare - http://t.co/VXOixHs #iTunes...

Radar is a big step in the direction of Foursquare’s vision, says Rainert. “This is something that we have been working on since Apple first released the SDK,” he adds. “We’re excited to see it in the wild … and learn from that.” Foursquare will add Radar to its other mobile applications in the months ahead. “Radar Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:26:35 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Mashable/~3/ozuSBOPNo6U/ Mashable (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OmMalik/~3/Eki-u-a_ZTQ/ Screenshot of Foursquare 4.0 Radar (click to enlarge) Foursquare on Wednesday launched a new version of its mobile application for the iPhone, Foursquare 4.0. The biggest change in Foursquare 4.0 is the addition of an opt-in feature called Radar, which is made possible by the latest version of Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, iOS 5. Radar sends notifications to users based on where they are to remind them to check-in. These alerts are triggered in several ways: when users are close to a place they’ve added to their To-Do list, when they’re close to a place that’s on a Foursquare list they follow, or when three or more friends are checked into a nearby venue. The Radar feature works whether the Foursquare app is open or not, the company said in a blog post. Radar is an interesting extension of Foursquare’s lists feature, which made its debut in August.

And your favorite mobile app isn’t mine. So we decided to poll the staff here at GigaOM to see what apps changed our lives in 2011. It could be apps that just launched this year, or it could be programs that really came of age or matured greatly through updates. Or it could just be an app we missed before. Some are very familiar but others may be new to you, but all have played a big part in our lives this year. Take a look and then tell us your favorite app in the comments. Android typically takes a backseat to iOS when it comes to getting slick apps. That’s why it’s so refreshing that Hipmunk, the travel search engine, put real time and effort into making its Android app just as awesome as its web and Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:00:27 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OmMalik/~3/KlWDe23UbCg/ GigaOm (Provided by AppStoreHQ)
