Wow, this is like the 5th Foursquare post I've seen in the last few days. I'd say it's catching on.

I don't think there's a need to check in at your office...unless your work (like some universities we're seeing) decides to give incentives for checking in. Could be a cool way to educate employees on LBS. But then eventually some company will probably end up using it to make sure employees have butts in seats by 8:30. Make sure to check in on Foursquare when you get to the office. Ugh!

TJ, I think your local ice cream shop is ahead of the game and the ability to share offers and conversation with folks who check in is where the real value lies in Foursquare. Especially since the take on those offers is measurable via redemptions and follow-up check ins.

I've been using Foursquare for a few months and I have come up with my own set of rules for sharing my check-ins.

I only share check-ins on Twitter when I'm somewhere special like a conference or tweet-up. I haven't shared any of my check-ins on Facebook because I don't think anyone in that network cares.

What are everyone's thoughts about checking in at home and work? I think it's cheating.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

For me, it's been an evolution. At first I was updating Twitter and Facebook with my FourSquare adventures, but I've turned both off. Now it's just about where I'm going and where my friends (a select few) are going.

I am a casual user and I do have the Twitter option turned on, but like @KOttavio I always try to personalize it so that it becomes more of a status update. No one wants to hear about me being at the office – let's just assume I'm there more often than not. (Plus, I think a few of my colleagues have the mayor's seat pretty much locked up so I don't even try!) It is also useful when others leave tips about a particular place you are visiting….the check-in feature alone is only part of the fun. The one thing that bugs me is that it doesn't automatically include the city/state in the updates – if I don't already know what city people live in, you often can't tell where they are. Or am I missing something?
