I was thinking that Foursquare would be a great assignment for LIS students: have them explore different libraries, check in, and have them complete to do lists at each location.

Well, I had hoped to do something for the Networking Uncommons at Midwinter, so I tried to contact FourSquare to find out how to offer a badge, but they never got back to me. Hopefully the process (whatever it is) will get easier with more lead time. If nothing else (and there definitely is “else” I want to try), we want to offer a badge for checking in at the Membership Pavilion at Annual.

If anyone has an “in” with Foursquare, please contact me!

I'm excited to know what you might plan for us at Annual. You might consider contacting Foursquare directly to get some custom badges made for the conference – maybe something like visiting a series of places (or vendors).

My observation is that Gowalla is better designed for this but don't see why it wouldn't work with Foursquare too.
