Foursquare is an interesting application. It is relatively a new idea. Increasing number of mobile users using internet (thanks to 3G) and GPS needs new ways of getting most out of their mobile devices. GPS assisted mobile device users benefit of navigation and maps. Foursquare is not about navigation but is about the places you visit. Foursquare user visits different places (cafe, bar, restaurant, airport, etc) and comments on the service quality, foods, beverages, etc. The more you visit the same place, you become the mayor and might get special offers and discounts.

Long time ago, i dreamed the cars will communicate and transfer traffic information to each other. Moreover, they can tell their current location and destination to the system and the optimal path will be returned from the server. Even if it is now our research project, it has more historical reasons why i stick to it instead of resting for a couple of days.
