Foursquare… what do you think?

So… I tried the Foursquare app a bunch of months ago and HATED it.

It was slow, no one was on it, it seemed like something that was just another thing to do…

HOWEVER. While at 5-7 at Bauer, the lovely Myles encouraged me to give it another go.

So I did. and holy crap. I totally love it!

Now the only thing to do – get all of my friends using it so we can have a little friendly competition over points and badges and we can share reviews of where we go and what we like.

If you’re a business – i don’t know how you could NOT see the benefits in this app. I mean – it basically shows you who your customers are – and let’s you interact with them directly – as well as run some pretty cool promotion around it.

So.. yeah… get on it. and add me as a friend.

hilary (at) rqmagazine (dot) com – obvi.

PS> yes, i know I am a total geek. i’m embracing it – you should too.
