Foursquare and Me
Don't have idea why I'm so addicted with foursquare. It's so fun! Checked-in here, checked-in there and gaining some badges and points, that's all. Actually, nothing positive advantages from it except marked specific location and collecting badges. Even we need to spend charge to make internet connection. But somehow, this badges makes me curious. Here below my foursquare badges collection (I hope, the foursquare owner will provide goods from points replacement or badges - an iPad is a good start :) | Newbie This is everyone first badge. I was unlocking this badge when I checked-in at BLK Cijantung on June 11, 2011. |
