2010: The year we learned how to ‘check-in’

— Jan 21 2010

After the iPhone, the Android and the Palm version it’s time for the Blackberry version of the well-known-and-soon-to-be-the-next-big-thing-in-2010 Foursquare! Yes its true, all the blackberry users can now access foursquare through a beautiful app from their own Blackberry. It’s only been a couple of weeks since Foursquare launched its Palm version and decided to go Global. I guess this is the right time to say a line from ‘Toy Story’ where Buzz (yes, Lightyear) said “no time to loose”.

Our BlackBerry app is still in beta so bear with us as we add new features.  In the near future look for the the ability to add friends and view nearby tips…  stay tuned!

Great work is been done over there at Foursquare. Both the iPhone and the Android version are quite excellent mobile apps driven by the need to check-in! I can’t tell for the Palm version which I haven’t used so far. Who would know that the year we learned how to ‘tweet‘ (aka 2009) would be followed by the year we learned how to ‘check-in‘ (aka 2010)? After hours, days and weeks of usage (of the Foursquare app), talking and coffee with friends, Foursquare naturally became one of the most (if not the most) desirable/likable mobile application. Location data seems to be quite important these days. No wonder why Foursquare is expanding so fast lately.

Have you tried foursquare yet? What do you think of it?
