Are you familiar with Foursquare?

For those of you who aren't very familiar with Foursquare, it is an application that can be used with a user's facebook or twitter account. To be honest, I had to do a little googling myself to figure out how exactly this works. So if I grasped how this application works, users "check in" their location and let others following them know where they are, how convenient. Foursquare is growing in popularity, thanks to the help of reality show celebrities. I personally believe that without the help of these celebrities making use of this application, it would just be another application. Now, with the deal (MTV/VH1) in place, Foursquare is definitely going to grow in popularity.

It appears to be a win-win situation that Foursquare and MTV/VH1 has in their hands. It is a current trend that viewers have grown obsessed with, reality tv. However, in reality, reality tv is possibly the most scripted as tv shows come. Nonetheless, viewers love the shows and love the characters. So, with an application like Foursquare that gives the viewers easy access to their favorite reality star in person? They are so there! Foursquare is certainly beyond facebook in which you can become a fan; it is beyond Twitter in which you can tweet or retweet him or her. For those willing celebrities that can't wait for the attention they get, they can "check in" and use it to their advantage. The celebrities as well as the Foursquare application get the publicity they want or need. Foursquare is definitely something to watch for in 2010.
