After exploring Foursquare I opted out. First, I don’t have a cell phone with web access, that means all my check-ins would be via text message. That’s what I’ve been doing on twitter for years. For me earning virtual badges is not a compelling reason to change from twitter to foursquare. Second and more importantly is the privacy issue. This website explains and demonstrates the danger of publicly telling people where you are http://pleaserobme.com/why
Personally, I have no idea if Foursquare will be around in three years or if it will be yesterday news.
