Vodafone UK customers can now “check-in” to Foursquare, one of the hottest social networking phenomenon, on their mobile phones. Vodafone UK customers can now access Foursquare’s new mobile website on any mobile internet enabled handset directly through the Vodafone MyWeb or Vodafone live! on older phones. They can also text “FOURSQUARE” to 97886 to receive a link to the mobile site.
For those of you not up on Foursquare, it’s a social network that enables people to connect and share information about their favourite places based on their location. Points and badges are awarded for “checking in” at venues, allowing users to compete on a leaderboard against their friends. The user that checks in the most times to a venue becomes its “Mayor” and remains in that position until they’re ousted by a rival.
Foursquare apps are also available for the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices. More information on Foursquare is available here.
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
