Time Out New York Checks In With Foursquare
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010As Foursquare continues its takeover of social media, they’ve begun to partner with media sources such as the Financial Times to bring some semblance of synergy between social and traditional media.
With this new partnership, Time Out New York has checked-in with 30 New York City based locations and if you check in to four of those locations you get the Time Out New York Happy Hour badge! If getting a special badge isn’t incentive enough, these 30 locations will also offer happy hour deals. And of course, you can join Time Out New York’s Foursquare page for recommendations and news.
The increase in partnerships like this is indicative of a trend toward businesses and traditional media beginning to embrace geo-tagging services of Foursquare. This support is strengthening the belief that location-based services are the next wave of popular social media platforms. If you aren’t already, keep your eye on Foursquare.
