@Carson – With all those checkins, you can become the Mayor of your basement.

@P.S.Jones – I post very few updates to Facebook and Twitter as well. Mostly I use it at conferences to see who is hanging out where.

I’m the mayor of CVS, Tony’s Finer Foods, and Family Dollar. . . which just goes to show you how exciting my life is. But seriously, I like Foursquare for the exact reasons you listed and I only check in if sitting around waiting for something. And I also only let it announce badges to FB and Foursquare so if you’re not my friend, you probably don’t even realize I’m playing most of the time.

I think I need to get out more before I use FourSquare.

If I used it right now, my updates would look something like:

In my basement office, working.
Still in the basement.
Wow. Up in the kitchen for a minute.
Back in the basement.
Running to Quik Trip before returning to basement.
Basement.
Taking E to baseball practice.
Back from baseball practice–in the basement.

Clearly, I need a more interesting life.
