foursquare: Am I mayor yet?

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:06:32 -0400

We made a quick yet long-awaited tweak to our apps today. You can now see how far away you are from becoming Mayor of the places you check into. Take it for a test drive tonight and see if it fires up the flames of competitiveness for you!

Just a quick reminder of how Mayorships work: To become…

Foursquare made an awesome improvement to their apps that now shows a user how close they are to becoming a mayor when they check-in to a venue. This is awesome, and I’m sure people will think, “Well what do you need Mayor Fight for now?”

What Mayor Fight does is something very different. Mayor Fight will go through your entire 60 day history, and show you what places you are closest to becoming the mayor of, a list of up to 50 locations in the best case.

I feel Foursquare’s new feature eliminates some other sites that only show you exactly how close you are to becoming a mayor of specific venue when you ask it.

However, Mayor Fight continues to be the only site that will tell you where you should check in to become mayor, and not the other way around.

Mayor Fight was mentioned on CNN.com

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:44:00 -0400

Mayor Fight was mentioned on CNN.com:

I woke up this morning and was perplexed by a big new traffic source to mayorfight.com – CNN! Doug Gross wrote an article about the different check-in services that are popping up beyond location, such as sharing tv shows, books, and movies. In the third paragraph, Doug describes Foursquare,

Let’s face it — most of us aren’t hitting The Scratcher, Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley’s favorite East Village watering hole, every other night or battling to be the “mayor” of our neighborhood coffeehouse.

That happy little link put a smile on my face, and hopefully some new mayorships in the pockets of the growing number of Mayor Fight fans.

Last week a couple of blog write ups, this week a CNN mention, next week I expect a call from Obama telling me he stole the White House Mayorship using Mayor Fight.

My absolute favorite press nods are the ones that are from foreign bloggers. The nice people at Inside, a Chinese Social Media Blog, noted the functionality of Mayor Fight for their readers. Hope you guys use the power of Mayor Fight kindly.

I got blogged by a blog I actually read everyday! I woke up and started skimming the Silicon Alley Insider and was ecstatic to see they wrote an article titled, “20 Foursquare Apps That Show How It Could Become A Platform”.

I thought the chances were slim that MayorFight.com may be picked in the top 20, but sure enough it got the nod - Mayor Fight is for people who take Foursquare titles very, very seriously.

Super excited for this brief gleam of recognition, I’ll keep an eye on any traffic increase but no matter how meager, the write up is worth plenty more to me personally.
