Foursquare is a location-based social networking site that allows you to "check in" at venues through your mobile device like an iPad.
It's a great idea but doesn't leave the user much else to do other than check in.
So why does Foursquare have 3 million check-ins a day?

Users are able to "check-in" at venues using a mobile website, text message, or the application, and selecting from a list of nearby locations. Foursquare does give out "badges" as incentives for checking in at all kinds of different locations.
To me at least, it doesn't offer as much to the social media user as Facebook or Twitter. Maybe that's why it's not nearly as popular as Facebook or Twitter. But you may have seen people checking in through Foursquare on your Facebook news feeds as I have in the past.
There are of course the average Foursquare users like me. But it's celebrities that are just recently showing up like [who].
I'd imagine that celebrities would check in at a concert or scheduled appearance as a way to promote it otherwise, checking in at Starbucks could create unwanted attention.

Some companies are getting on board with Foursquare, such as Zagat, which leaves reviews and tips on good places to eat like [where].
I wasn't too familiar with Foursquare and what it was all about before - but after checking it out, I'm going to stick with it and see what it's all about.
