don't be an ass in foursquare

Now that Starbucks has announced a chain-wide promotion rewarding "Mayors" in FourSquare, you can expect every other chain in the nation to follow suit. Get ready for the FourSquare explosion. This is like Twitter, late 2008.

And as the masses begin to adopt and start "checking in" on FourSquare, we're going to need to establish common etiquette for what's appropriate. (At our office, there's a lot of discussion around this very topic.)

Charlie from Curve has produced one of the best guides to FourSquare etiquette that we've seen so far. While I don't agree with everything he says (like checking in at the grocery store), this is a great guide. Send it to your coworker who wants to check in at the employee bathroom.
