Facebook does not own Instagram. Facebook intends to buy Instagram, but the deal is not completed yet.

Nah — “Google Latitude” is worse. Sharing is much more limited in Foursquare, and it doesn’t automatically share as you move.

If it weren’t for points and badges, Foursquare would have died off. It is definitely the game they’ve made of it that keeps people checking in. Weird human psychology.

“Fantastic”? Really? Looks and feels very similar to how it used to… but now the “Check in” button is smaller and harder to hit. There’s an “Explore” button. I guess that’s new. But… Fantastic?

Plus it has ICS goodies! More developers need to update their UIs to this.

I used to use it when i traveled around the country just to get badges…I made it a game i guess to pass the time. But i dont use Facebook anymore and i only use Google+…wish they would include Google+ check in’s. For now I just use Latitude to check in on Google+

The check-in game the best part, in my case. Everyone’s competing to get out to new bars to get more points, resulting in collectively drunker work week.

The few people from my friends that used to use this, dont really use it anymore. The few times I’ll ‘check-in’ somewhere, will be on g+ or FB.

Still no Google+ check in support….this app is useless to me.

Finally gave in and tried it, and once again, the cesspool I live in makes this app total crap for me. I SO wish I lived in a real city. Nice app, reminds me of G+, but it’s hardly worthwhile when you live in crackville florida.

It’s a fun little game to play with friends. Nothing more…

Looks great. But ever since Facebook bought Instagram, Foursquare updates show up on my wall in a screwy manner. My comments and photos that accompany a checkin almost never show up in Facebook.

Looks cool but I’m still not a fan of the checking-in obsession people have

Much needed and really great update. I am loving it more.
