After the overwhelming popularity of the first annual Foursquare Day (4/16/2010), we realized there was demand for getting a bunch of you all together in one place. And then we were asked to be a launch partner for the new Meetup everywhere, which helps people who want to have foursquare meetups self-organize, anywhere in the world!
It’s simple: go to the foursquare Meetup everywhere page, and let others in your area know you’re interested, and then start discussing where to have your meetup. We’ve selected June 16 (get it? 4 squared=16) as the first date for the meetups to happen all over the globe, and from there you can figure out how often your group wants to get together (twice a month? once a month?). You can meet other foursquare users, and maybe even get a swarm badge!
Find a foursquare meetup in your town to connect with other foursquare users!

Are we just working till a day we decide we’ve had enough?
All along
We were strong enough
To be sick of it,
And put them back in their fucking place.
Never asked for this responsibility
We were never in this…
Together.

From our perspective, North Shore Bank sees Foursquare not only as a tool to encourage people to stop into our branches, but as a way to help us increase brand awareness and position the bank within a growing local online community. Listening and connecting with people within our communities is a big part of who we are as an institution, as it has been since our inception. Foursquare is simply one more communication avenue we’re exploring.
We don’t see Mayorship specials as the end-all/be-all of Foursquare promotions. However, the promotion we ran earlier has already paid for itself, just from the positive reception and potential new business opportunities.
So far the tools that have been released by Foursquare have allowed us to monitor the check-in activity at our 40+ offices. Going forward we would like to craft additional promotions, including offers like restaurants are able to do now. Another intriguing feature is the ability to post tips and to-dos on our venue pages as a way to drive traffic and introduce the bank’s convenient services, like nearby ATMs, to people on-the-go.
You offer many good points and ideas here, some of which we are exploring. Fourquare and other location-based social networks offer us a chance to bring online conversations face-to-face, where personal relationships remain a critical part of doing business.
