Foursquare is a pretty unique social network that specializes directly in locations and events. I’m sure you’ve heard of it before, but just in case you haven’t- it’s entirely based on location check-ins at local businesses, places and events. If you’ve ever checked-in to a place on Facebook before, then it’s nearly the same thing.
It’s more than just that though, it’s partially a game and a curator for potential outings all in one. You can earn badges and points for checking-in to various places, and you can even become the mayor of your town- if you go out enough that is. Not to mention, Foursquare recommends a lot of great places to visit based on your history. You could use it to discover a lot of great restaurant, sightseeing locations and more.
It’s a shame though, that Foursquare is not integrated into the OS like Twitter or Facebook. It would be much more convenient to check-in that way. Magic4Square is a unique application that is designed to make checking-in to your favorite spots a lot faster. More specifically, it automates the process entirely.
In the free version of the app you can store up to four of your favorite locations. If you’re a frequent Foursquare user, then this app is certainly useful. You designate a spot on a GPS map, which coordinates with your favorite location or place to visit. Then, when you leave the house you open the app and leave it running in the background. As soon as you walk-in to the location, Magic4Square will check you in through Foursquare, and wallah! The whole process is automated so that you don’t have to worry about checking-in. It’s great for those times when you have errands to run and you can’t be bothered to whip out your Blackberry.
