Its pretty dam cool... It combines Google, Bing and Yahoo into one and even lets you search for videos on YouTube and News all across the net. Maybe this will become the new Google ?

You're correct that Foursquare is primarily focused on restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and other places where people socialize. Hopefully that doesn't stop you. Two ideas you could try: <br><br>1) Tap into Foursquare users' desire for badges. Can you help them get a "Local" or a "Photogenic" badge? Can you host a tweetup in your clubhouse to <a href="http://blog.steffanantonas.com/case-study-how-to-use-foursquare-to-draw-a-crowd-into-your-restaurant.htm" rel="nofollow">help them get a "Swarm" badge</a>?<br><br>2) Can you partner with a local business to run a joint special? Maybe a check-in message at the local coffee shop tells the person to retrieve a more valuable gift card if they stop by your leasing office and check-in there, too.<br><br>Let me know how it goes for you. Good luck! Thanks for the feedback, Trevor. You're correct that Foursquare is primarily focused on restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and other places where people socialize.

FourSquare is claiming that they are only allowing specials "where people meet, socialize and linger", so lets see what they make of it. Stay tuned.
