One of the biggest trends lately has been foursquare. Part social network part game, foursquare has taken off as of late and many BlackBerry users are getting in on the action. While obvisouly not for everyone, foursquare can be loads of fun as you try to earn points, badges and mayorships and helps you keep up with your friends while you're out and about. The current app is still in beta and not totally perfect, but it does work very well and the foursquare team seems to be hacking away at some good updates. If you're a current forusquare player or just looking to get into the game, the free app is definitely worth checking out. Take a look at the video above for a walkthrough of the current features of the foursquare app for BlackBerry.

Its good to be the king : )
I know they are trying to eliminate cheaters, but since they have updated their system, I am never where the app/ phone says I am.
It is off more now then before.
Anyone else have this issue?
They re-tweaked the system and I don't have issues anymore.
I have noticed that on my Storm2, if I don't see my venue on the first screen, I hit Menu > Exit, then start it up again (it's on my QuickLaunch). It refreshes the GPS then and I can Check In with no issues.
I did for a few days when they did it - but I think they have since updated and it seems to be working better now (for me anyway)
Is the the BerryWeather app on the top of the homescreen? If so, how did you get it there?
Just joined Foursquare and downloaded the app, seems pretty smooth to me.... so far.. about to see what its all about, nice video Adam, Thanks!
Yup its BerryWeather. Just have to set homescreen wallpaper to on, and I have it as "Icon Right" - "Small" 0px Top, 0px Left and 70px Right.
especially if you have a lot of friends that use crackberries, iphones, palm, etc.
I've got several of my bb friends playing and we are all over the US. Its cool to see where they are and we can "shout" out to each other. Each week we compete for points for bragging rights :) love it
Does it mean I'm old if I think this is incredibly stupid? Has "Social Networking" always been slang for "Look at me!", or was that a recent change?
although i have the foursquare app installed, i personally use socialscope to handle my foursquaring.
the only things i use the fs app for are friend requests and if i wanna shout something without checking into a location.
btw thanks for the berryweather tip adam. add me on foursquare!
to be honest, the bigger the city the better the foursquaring. not that u can't foursquare in small towns, but u can't unlock as much and fs caters the experience to larger cities (austin, ny, vancouver, chicago, ec.)
Hey I'm foursquare's blackberry developer, thanks for the excellent overview!
We're planning an updated version of foursquare for bb shortly and looking for beta testers. More than happy to reward crackberry developers with a pre-release. Just email pete *at* foursquare *dot* com.
Windows 7 is the new Operating System developed by Microsoft that will eventually take over XP, and eventually Vista, bringing us back to one unilateral operating system for home and business alike. As mentioned in a previous article Windows 7 is a powerful product by giving us all the stability of XP with all the glitz and glamour of Vista and then some, making it truly unique in its own rights. How it does this, is by simplifying tasks making it more user friendly in operation, and navigation, of system functions, and also by making multi-tasking easier than it’s ever been before with a PC based operating system. Microsoft has had Windows 7 in the development stages of three years, which is longer than any operating system Microsoft has produce to date. And through their research in the development stage the message was clear from the consumer and business world, to deliver a product that is user friendly, a product that is stable with little to no down time, and finally a product that is secure and safe from harm. With that as a focus Microsoft then stripped down the Vista platform to the bare bones and started reconstructing, this way it would be easier to stay compliant with hardware and software products already in use today, instead of starting from scratch. So if you have a computer that is running Vista or XP machines that can run vista, you will have no trouble what so ever transferring over to Windows 7.
