Foursquare mayorships

For those of you who don’t know what Foursquare is, it’s a social networking site that lets you “check in” into places to let your friends know where you are. The site also has a game-like aspect to it: you get points for checking in, you can unlock badges (= achievements) and, if you are the one with most check ins in the past 2 months, become “mayor” of a place.

It’s that last part I want to brag about: a quick look at my profile (might not work if you’re not logged in) will show that I’m clearly not anywhere near curing my bubble tea addiction: more than half of my regular places are bubble tea spots. There are a few others that I frequent, but some very evil people (= more crazy than me) are their mayors. Will change that.

    It’s good to know that I’m not the only one that feels that urge to “Check in”

    I always told Fits we had to have an achievement system at mybloop, would’ve made it even more addictive that it already was.

    Chinatown should give you the honorary title of ‘bubble tea ambassador’

    and in 2013 maybe they will have a nice comic about Bubbleman – the ‘resistence’ mayor of bubble tea places

    as for pleaserobme… it’s kinda lame if you think about it… any person with a full time job should be on there. shouldn’t they? Razz
