Foursquare Partners With The Wall Street Journal
Foursquare, the popular mobile location check-in app, has just partnered with The Wall Street Journal. In the deal, WSJ will provide tips and three new check-in badges: Urban Adventurer, Banker, Lunch Box. Each badge will have its own challenge for New York, ranging from checking in to different boroughs, the financial district, or reviewed restaurants.
Other Foursquare partners include Bravo Media, SPIN magazine, Metro News and New York Times. The latter partnership related to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The Foursquare API has been used to build a number of location-based services (LBS) applications. Currently, Foursquare has apps for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Palm and other devices.
