I was in New York this week, and as part of my visit, I decided to check-in (pun intended) with Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley. He showed off the company’s massive new office that is still under construction in the Village Voice building in New York’s Cooper Square. What’s gotten him most excited: small conference rooms where he can have private phone calls versus standing in the corridor trying to talk to partners. But a new office isn’t the only reason why these are happy days for Foursquare — it is also fresh off the money-gathering trial.

(US$1.99). It's the first iPhone app for the company, so they introduced it to the world with a lot of fanfare. The app requires an iPhone 4. Why? Because it uses the internal gyroscope of the device to automatically take photos while you're moving the camera around you. It then assembles the photos into one of six collage themes in near real-time. You don't need to worry about aligning...

I know everybody and their brother does logo roundups so you’re probably sick of them, but I don’t believe I’ve ever done one and there is a particularly impressive brand of logo design that I wanted to point out.

To explain what I mean by “clever” logo design, let’s take a look at a typical logo, (i.e. one that isn’t clever). The logo above is a nice piece of work.
