Foursquare: Think Twice Before Cross Posting Every Check-In
I'm a big fan of Foursquare, the location-based social media site that allows you to "check-in" to various locations from your smartphone, and have been since I began using it more than a year ago. Apparently, I'm not the only one, because users check in to venues more than 3 million times per day.
