Foursquare is a great free website that has gained popularity recently. It is a web application that allows users to interact, provide reviews, give tips, and explore new places with a focus on local businesses and restaurants. It also allows you to "check-in" at any of these locations using a mobile device. There are tons of users using foursquare and it has become a game to gain the most check-ins at a particular place. The more active you are in the community, the more you are rewarded.
The best way to take advantage of this is to get involved with your local business website. You can now get a free Foursquare widget to embed on your website. This widget allows you to show visitors that you use foursquare and it shows how many people are checking in at your location. As with any social networking or marketing, the more people you get involved, the better experience everyone has. This means that if you start getting your community involved using applications like this with your free website built with WebStarts, that more and more people will know your name and more people will bring your more money.
