Foursquare Badges Now Level Up. Foursquare has revamped its popular badge system in an effort to increase user engagement and encourage exploration. Starting Monday, Foursquare's core 24 category badges will begin leveling up based on users' checkins. A numerical icon now appears on the bottom right of badges such as "JetSetter," "Wino" and "Great Outdoors", indicating how often users have checked in to places related to those badges. "It's rewarding exploration and awarding expertise," says Foursquare Head of Product Alex Rainert. "It's a platform to showcase tastemakers and get their content exposed. " Level one is achieved by checking in five time to places in a badge category. Foursquare badges reach their peak at 10 levels — 48 checkins in any given category. Rainert says that the revamped badge system helps identify people for their expertise in specific verticals.
Rainert also says that the new badge system will do more to encourage people to explore their surroundings. Foursquare Badge List.

Tu galères sur la ligne #ligne9 #ratp ? Bravo ! voilà ton bad. Foursquare Meetup - London, United Kingdom | Apr 16, 2011. HISTORY channel teams with Foursquare in London. Hot in the heels of my Foursquare Fatigue post, the HISTORY channel in the UK has launched an initiative with Foursquare to help people uncover 600 historic sites in London. I attended the launch this morning at the tower of London (and in doing so picked up the HISTORY ♥ London badge). Tom Davidson, who is Managing Director of the HISTORY channel’s parent company AETN UK explained that they had decided to follow the lead of their US team and launch a Foursquare partnership in London. They have put together 600 tips for a range of locations across London, some iconic, as well as some of the city’s best kept secrets. First you need to follow the HISTORY channel on Foursquare, then after 4 check-ins to one of the venues linked to the HISTORY channel Foursquare tips, you will receive a HISTORY ♥ London badge.
Venues such as The Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace qualify towards the badge. Importantly, they have also signed up 20 commercial partners that will offer deals and discounts. London's Foursquare hotspots mapped. A PhD student named Anil Bawa-Cavia has created some lovely visualisations of the data from location-based social network Foursquare, showing where the greatest activity in London is in a number of different categories. Bawa-Cavia created the maps as part of his research into cities at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London. He sifted through the city's Foursquare checkins, and then broke down the results into different categories. For example, the nightlife map is well distributed among a number of venues, with the Hospital Club proving the most popular check-in location.
There are far fewer arts venues, however, with the O2 arena proving the most popular. Regent's Park is the most difficult green space in London to become the mayor of, but it should be relatively trivial in comparison to get the top spot for Camden Lock, which was top of the listing of shops. The dataset used contained 162,068 check-ins at 7,191 venues. London foursquare Community. Umpf offers £1,000 Foursquare Check In.

New Century Club Badge rewards true locals. Celebrate Mardi Gras with a foursquare badge. For months, foursquare for WebOS developer Geoff Gauchet has been waging a campaign to convince foursquare to introduce a badge for Mardi Gras. Tonight it appears his efforts have paid off. Fat Tuesday is still a few weeks away, but Mardi Gras celebrations and preparations are already in full swing in New Orleans, and for those who are participating, there’s now a Mardi Gras foursquare badge. It’s not clear exactly what it will take to earn your own Mardi Gras badge, but I have a feeling it’s a little more complicated (albeit less demeaning) than earning beads on Bourbon Street. Of course, in true foursquare style, that’s exactly what the unlock text refers to: Show us your badges!
This is a wonderful celebration for foursquare to mark and it’s a badge that will certainly be popular among the people of New Orleans. Thanks to Shawn Foret for sending this in!
