In its continuing bid to become more useful and to differentiate from competitors such as Yelp and Google, Foursquare introduced a redesigned homepage this week.
There’s a signed-in and signed-out experience. The major difference between the two is friend activity and personalization.
The new homepage shows recommended or popular nearby businesses, as well as places with specials or offers. Beyond the personalization data and recommendations, the new homepage is sensitive to time of day and day of week. It will show different listings and recommendations accordingly:Our new homepage is smart enough to know that what you’re looking for on Saturday night (dinner and nightlife spots) might be different than what you’re searching for on Sunday morning (delicious brunch restaurants, anyone?). Load the page anytime of the day, and we’ll show you the perfect suggestions for that moment.
The following shows what the Foursquare PC homepage looked like a year ago:
