@samianrosen I think Google is onto something w/ the QR codes... would be sweeter if iPhone's default camera app could decode them too :)
foursquare: As you may know, every checkin on foursquare generates points and we display the top users on the leaderboard. Users from city to city compete using this “high score board for exploring your city” as a baseline. About a month ago, we made some noise to trying to find a sponsor for our NYC leaderboard.

About a month ago, we made some noise to trying to find a sponsor for our NYC leaderboard.  We had this idea that if we could turn points into dollars, we could probably find some way to turn those dollars over to local charities.
 
And here we are, a month later, announcing a leaderboard sponsorship with Pepsi to do just that!
 
This week (starting last night, thru Sunday Dec 3 @ 11:59p), every point added to the foursquare leaderboard will be lead to Pepsi donating $0.04 to CampInteractive, an organization that helps empower inner-city youth through technology skills and mentoring.
 
We are *super excited* about this, not just because this is a great way to tie foursquare points into something in the real world, but *just like that* we’re about to raise about $10,000 for a great organization (btw, we capped the donation at 10,000 points / $10,000 as things can tend to get out of hand with foursquare :)
 
A quick round of thanks to our leadererboard sponsor Pepsi and to Adam Gillman & Simon Kirk at Techies Give Back (these two made it all happen!)
 
Also of note:  Techies Give Back is holding an ice skating event this Sunday December 13 where every ticket sold allows a child to have a day out and another day of mentoring.  You can buy tickets here. We hope to see you there!
This week in NYC, every point you add to the @foursquare leaderboard earns $0.04 for @CampInteractive (thanks Pepsi!) http://foursquare.tumblr.com/post...

If you're a foursquare user in NYC, every point you add to the leaderboard translates into $0.04 for Camp Interactive (courtesy of Pepsi) an organization that teaches tech skills to inner-city kids. Loving this :) - http://www.flickr.com/photos...

@crackhead Oh, it's definitely a reference to the playground game of course, but whether there's double meaning is up for debate...
As psyched as I am for J.Cameron's "Avatar" I'm worried it may feel like watching the scenes in Metal Gear Solid w/out actually playing thru

@braker1nine We pick cities based on what's been most highly requested, but for now we working on launching "foursquare everywhere"
@braker1nine Oh, we've been working with a data provider (WCities) to help us seed places... they've been great!
@BaBsOoNeEh You dip that filthy lil' pretzel in Cream Cheese? Try that and then tell me it's a no-go.
Er, of course I thought I was the first person on 4SQ to find the pretzel shop.. instead 50 checkins by 25 others. Ha! http://foursquare.com/venue...
