Super Swarm Sunday Badge on Foursquare for the Super Bowl

February 4, 2012 by robertforto Leave a Comment

Foursquare this afternoon released more information about their Super Swarm Sunday promotion with American Express and Pizza Hut. At the end of the post, they threw out one more tidbit of information: yes, there will be a badge this year.

This year’s badge will be a Super Swarm Sunday badge, featuring the usual swarm badge design, but the bees are replaced by tiny footballs. It doesn’t appear there’s any connection to the NFL for 2012, so you won’t see separate badges for your favorite team or for actually attending the game.

You’ll be able to unlock the badge when you check in to the worldwide “Super Swarm Sunday” venue from the foursquare app. It will begin appearing a few hours before the game and will be active for the remainder of the night.

Foursquare’s servers have come a long way in the past year. Hopefully we won’t see a repeat of last February when they saw numerous instances of downtime during the game brought on by the crush of people checking in to earn their badges.

Foursquare has come a long way in the last year. Take the Super Bowl for example: 130,000 people checked in last year during the game. Since then foursquare’s user base has more than doubled. With the combination of a compelling special (who doesn’t love pizza?) and a badge, we should see even better numbers this year.

Superstar Badge on Foursquare

November 23, 2011 by robertforto Leave a Comment

Foursquare is the most popular location service app on the planet. I have been using it for a couple years now and very active. I use it for a variety of reasons, one being letting my friends and clients know of cool and interesting places to visit.

Keep ‘em comin’, as they say. You are up to  50 venues! OH yeah! You are a Superstar, at least in my book, well, maybe your mom’s too.

The unlock text reads:

You’ve checked into 50 different venues!
