On September, 1, 2010 I checked-in for the very first time using foursquare at my Office at Techdivine Creative Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/a>

Techdivine Creative Services<\/p><\/div>\n

At that point of time, I merely had a vague idea of the power of this amazing app.<\/p>\n

\n

Being a part of a digital marketing agency<\/span><\/a>, my curiosity to use this app to empower both, my client brand partners and the end users was very high. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, I started to explore. Explore more options and apps that can be easily integrated to value-add to brands and end users.<\/p>\n

We successfully ran quite a few campaigns (Social media marketing campaign Case Studies-Click here for PDf)<\/a> using social media marketing<\/a> in-house process under our flagship brand of Your SMQ – Social media quotient<\/a> and the amazing foursquare app.<\/a><\/p>\n

We kept sharing important ways to more productively use foursquare every now and then too. \u00a0Some of our most popular articles on this were\u00a0“Using Foursquare to be more productive while you travel”<\/a>\u00a0and the more amazing updates that followed “Foursquare check-ins represented in a pulsing visual map”<\/a><\/p>\n

We loved it when they crossed BILLION Check-ins –\u00a0A million check-ins isn\u2019t cool. You know what\u2019s cool? Billion check-ins<\/a><\/p>\n

We kept following up with important news and updates with respect to fourqsuare <\/a>and were amazed when we read about the, “First space checkin: NASA Commander Wheelock Unlocks the Explorer Badge on Foursquare<\/a>” and more updates that followed with the news “NASA introduces new badge on Foursquare<\/a>“<\/p>\n

Now, I am an avid traveler. My work takes me places and keeps me on the toes every single day. I love to add and share tips about interesting places, wonderful dining experiences, beautiful locations that I have seen during my varied travel tours. So I ensured to religiously use this foursquare app and today, on June 14, 2013 I made my 1000th check-in, which Foursquare<\/a>\u00a0too, graciously applauded with a special 1,000th check-in badge<\/a> and with that a pretty cool 40% OFF<\/span> <\/strong>on their foursquare store merchandise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now the amazing part was, what followed next.<\/p>\n

Foursquare, recently announced,i.e. on June 13th, 2013 “Say hello to the Foursquare Time Machine<\/a>”\u00a0 with an amazingly beautiful way to TIME TRAVEL<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with your past check-ins and go back down the memory lane with stunning visual graphics, animations, soothing music with the TIME MACHINE Foursquare Travel site<\/a>\u00a0link<\/p>\n
