Is social media keeping us honest?

Is social media keeping us honest?

People praise technology because it allows us to check in with our friends, and show embarrassing pictures of them on the internet for friends and potential employers to see, but there’s a downside to it all: we can no longer lie. We’ve all been in situations like this before – you don’t want to go to someone’s party because “Bob” is going to be there, and when we last left Bob, he was left in a pool of his own fluids babbling incoherently about how the universe is really just a science project of an alien fourth grader. Bob isn’t a fun guy to be around, and so you make up a story that you have to relabel your VHS tapes of Star Trek: The Next Generation because you finally found the font that matches the main titles and it’ll all look swell when it’s finished.

Starbucks Gold + Foursquare Mayorship = Double Win!

Any size, any flavor.” CHA-CHING!

Within days, people picked up on the idea and it soon became a global phenomenon, getting the attention of BBC America, Fox Tampa, and even Ashton Kutcher. We interviewed Dr. Nate for Geekistry a few weeks ago. You can read the story about how Foursquare Day came to be here.

In the cold war between Foursquare and Gowalla, another shot across the bow of Gowalla has been made by a surprising Foursquare ally – Tweetie. The popular Twitter client for the iPhone has added support for the popular geotagging, badge collecting app Foursquare.
