Know Anything About Foursquare.com?

Hi Warriors,

I was in Borders books yesterday browsing through Entrepreneur and Fast Company magazines and one of them (can't remember which one) mentioned Foursquare.com. Apparently, it's a social networking site which describes itself as "a cross between a friend finder, a social city-guide and a game that rewards you for doing interesting things." It lets you find friends who are physically near you using your phone's GPS capabilities and or your FourSquare friends' reports of where they are when they check in.

Hmmmm....

I found it when I was browsing stuff looking for useful apps for my new iPhone and I downloaded the app. I just logged onto the full site today and created a profile. The majority of my Facebook friends and Twitter followers are long-distance (old college classmates and extended family members), so I wouldn't be connected to any of them via Foursquare.com.

I'm pursuing my offline business and thought this might be an interesting social networking tool for local business.

Any thoughts? I just discovered this yesterday and really have no idea how useful it might be or even if it will catch on.

Thanks,
Michelle
