GPS has finally shown its fun side. With a world so connected to one another it was only a matter of time before something like Foursquare came onto the scene. Foursquare is a new kind of social networking, but seems to be more mobile than most. All you need to use is a web-enabled cell phone.
Foursquare lets users check into locations registered to the site, letting friends comment, give advice, or even meet up. The site opens the door for exploration of the world around you. There is no shortage of new and exciting places to visit and see. There is a particularly interesting feature that involves becoming the ‘mayor’ of a frequently visited location. You wont get any say in the running of the place, but you might be privy to benefits as a reward for being a dedicated customer and publicist!
How is this new and innovative site possible? It is enabled through GPS, letting you map, site, and list your favorite scenes using satellite images and directions. One thing is for sure, GPS has now gone well-beyond the world of navigation and is affecting how we interact with each other socially.
