Foursquare has added new features to the latest version 3.0 for iPhone/iPod and Android. New features include new tabs, a slider rewards barometer and new merchant offers.
The "Explore" tab helps you find things you are looking for nearby. The suggestions are based on places
you've been, places your friends have visited, your loyalty to your
favorite places, the categories and types of places you gravitate
towards, what's popular with other users, the day of the week, places
with great tips, the time of day and so on.
The "Me" tab lets you seek guidance from your friends on the categories and places they explore the most. The old leaderboard (and its simple points system and Sunday night reset) has been replaced with a sliding 7-day barometer that tracks check-ins, points and badges for you and your friends.
There are six new types of foursquare specials for merchants. Businesses will now be
able to offer Specials to swarms, groups of friends, regulars, newbies,
Mayors, or simply to everyone.
BlackBerry foursquare users will get an update later this week. Windows Phone 7 and Symbian versions are in the works.
