These types of systems are elective – you don’t have to broadcast your location if you don’t want to – and you can choose who can see your or not. I think it’s a great social tool – as long as you can select your network.

I am confused on what this is, but it sounds like the GPS for friends that they have on phones. You just open up the city map application and a icon comes up to show you where your friends are.

On a more personal note, doesnt anyone like not being available 24 hours a day to anyone in the world? I dont want a guy, who I talked to once at a party to know where I am 24 hours a day.

This is ‘social networking’ in the truest sense of the term.

I loooooove Foursquare. It’s changed the way I explore my neighborhood and this city. Accumulating points and unlocking badges is addictive because it’s ridiculously fun.

I now go days without checking Facebook but I don’t go a single night without 4sq. And thanks to my devotion to it (read: my dutiful tagging of venues, correcting addresses and reporting bugs), I’m a Superuser level two (I can merge venues! w00t!). Useful, entertaining and simple: Foursquare’s perfect.

@Yoga Fire – It does have that, in a way. You can always just post a “shout” to all your foursquare friends, instead of just checking in somewhere. Good idea for usage of that feature.

@phillygrrl – I too, was worried that I didn’t have the time for yet another “Marshmallow Tuscan Sandwic,” but in fact, it’s not so bad. Lots of fun, actually. (h/t @drew: http://twitter.com/phillydesign/status/5097880957)

Actually, this could be pretty useful to set up last-minute after-work happy-hour type stuff without having to resort to mass e-mails or text-messages. If this had a bonus feature to say “I’m going to be doing ___ at ___ after work today, y’all should come” I would be sold.
