The first Foursquare streetup in the Twin Cities is happening this Thursday (2/11) at Pazzaluna in St. Paul. They have a good wine deal for the event and it should be a great opportunity to meet other Foursquare users. Here are all the event details. All are welcome to stop by.
As Foursquare continues to grow there is an effort underway to build Foursquare communities by hosting streetup events (basically a meetup with a spin on the name). Events like this one are popping up all over the place. Read more about it on the Foursquare streetups page.
The goal with these events is to promote the Foursquare service to both users and businesses by showing how both benefit from using the service. For businesses, offering Foursquare promotions can help bring in customers and for customers, checking in with Foursquare can redeem promotions, specials, etc.
A small group of us in the Twin Cities plan to continue putting on events like this in the future. If you run a restaurant or bar and are interested in partnering on hosting an event like this, please contact me.
