How to Follow Proper Foursquare Etiquette. A popular phone app, this location-based social
network allows users to let their friends know exactly where they're at. Along the way,
you can collect points and ultimately mayorships. But don't go overboard sharing information
or you'll risk being seen as a foursquare boor. You will need Smartphone Foursquare
app Twitter account Facebook page and insider tips. Step 1. Don't cheat by check in to every
single building you pass on your morning commute. And don't create a new venue for your kitchen
only to obtain that mayorship. Check in to places you actually visit. Be sure to edit
locations that have the wrong addresses or phone numbers, and restaurants or venues that
have closed. Step 2. Control the number of times you cross-post to Twitter and Facebook.
Not only is it unwise to share your every move, but you'll get a ton of spam. Also don't
accept Foursquare friend requests from people you know only through Facebook or Twitter.

until you check in on Foursquare, it's a sign that you're too preoccupied with it. Step

or up-and-coming art gallery. Step 4. Add useful tips and information you've learned
to existing locations. It's the insider knowledge and local flavor that really enlivens such
posts. If you have any tips to share with fellow Foursquare users, take a moment to
add them. Step 5. Share Foursquare deals with your friends in real life. By sharing Foursquare
promotions, the businesses will benefit and your friends will save money. Sometimes it
pays to be a techno geek! Did you know In 2010 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was
