Social Shaman - googling social is future of the internet

As a relatively new social-networking tool, Foursquare is well-known by some but still a mystery to others. It is a mixture of a classic social networking site and a mobile game. You can set up Foursquare on your iPhone quickly and easily once you know how - below is some information about Foursquare and how to get the Foursquare App on your iPhone.

What is Foursquare?

As Foursquare is a mobile social networking system, it is used by most people on their cell phones. You log in to the app which then uses your smart phone’s GPS in order to locate whereabouts you are. The Foursquare app will then give you a list of nearby places from which you can choose where to ‘check in’ from.

What makes this tool so fun and addictive is that the more you ‘check in’ to different venues, the more ‘badges’ you can earn on Foursquare. If you check in to a venue more than anyone else on Foursquare, then you will be given the title of Foursquare ‘mayor’ of that venue. This could mean that if you are a coffee addict for example, you could end up as the Foursquare mayor of your local Starbucks!

How do I use Foursquare?

Foursquare is available as a website, a mobile website and an iPhone app. Out of these options, it is certainly best to use the iPhone app as it is simple and easy to use. It is also very easy to set up the Foursquare app on your iPhone. To do this, simply go to the App Store on your iPhone, and download the Foursquare app, which is free to use and install.

You can then create an account on Foursquare by following the instructions. To get started, select ‘Places’ on the Foursquare iPhone app - the app should then use your phone’s GPS in order to find your location.

If it says ‘Locating’ but cannot locate you, then you will need to ensure that your iPhone GPS settings are enabled.

You will then be able to use the Foursquare iPhone app - I hope you have fun with it.
