Foursquare – needs improvement, and still dont get it
Check me out on foursquare http://foursquare.com/user/sforzley I have unlocked 8 badges in a short period of time, not even a month. By the time a month has gone by, I am hoping to be at 10 badges. I have friends (exactly how many I dont know, or why). I have added at least 5 new locations, I am a mayor of 2 locations and yes, I am according to foursquare “Cruncked”
Problem is, even thought it all sound great, I still don’t get it. I don’t get why I have friends, I don’t get the point of badges, I dont get why I am checking into locations, I dont get why I have to tell the world where I am. Mind you I am going to keep trying until I figure this out, or someone tells me what the point is.
In the mean time, Dear Foursquare, here are some ideas for you to make this worth while or at least better.
- Allow friends to message each other
- Notify when friends are close by
- Allow me to contact my friends on Twitter
- Allow me to add a comment before notifying twitter, for example, instead of Tweeting on my behalf, “I am at Fratelli’s” let me add a comment, such as. “I am at Fratelli’s and having pasta and its no good”
- Find locations based on interest
What is the point of foursquare, please tell me
