it seems like Foursquare pops up in the news every few months. Otherwise,I hear almost nothing about it –perhaps because it’s not yet come to my city of Boston.
This week a New York Times blog reports on the Town Holler,a Foursquare “meetup”of Mayors of certain areas (those who have the most points for visiting certain locations,the “point”of the location-based social network). The system went down just as the event launched,but came back up soon after. Mashable gushes how the app may be the next Twitter. One reason:it’s like Twitter was before Twitter became big.
