In the social world, Mashable CEO Pete Cashmore recently did an opinion piece for CNN- Foursquare as the next Twitter sensation for 2010. You’ve probably been hearing about Foursquare, but what is it exactly? It is best described as a geo-based virtual game where users can earn badges (points) by ‘checking-in’ when you arrive at any great shop/eatery/bar that you are at. The person with the most points at a given venue, becomes the ‘mayor’. Mayors receive free perks- from food, tickets to hotels. Foursquare can help you discover hidden gems that your friends have found or serve as a meet up tool. Look out!
