Foursquare is a new type of social media outlet using geolocation technology that allows people to "check in" at any place around the world from their smart phones and, at the same time, let their friends know where they are. This type of outlet can be a great tool for businesses because it can track visitors to physical locations and provides another mobile listing for a business. New to foursquare? Check out the guide below for how to sign up and claim a business location.
