For the past few days, I've been using a new social media service called "foursquare."
Foursquare has been around for a while, but only recently started to catch on in Logan. It is a location-based social media service where people use their cell phones to "check in" at businesses, buildings and events around a community. Users get points for checking in at more places, and if they frequent a location, earn "badges" that they can display to friends saying they're "crunk" (if they visit four places in one night) or that they're a "local" (if they go to one location several times in one week.)
Foursquare started in bigger cities, but again, only recently started to have locations in Logan, and since you can add your own location to the service...
