Foursquare

I was on the way to palakkad with manoj,a friend of mine. A call came to his E63, i was about to see the home screen when it was ringing., I was bit amused to see the details in the home screen. it showed the callers recent facebook twitter updates ,foursquare check ins along with his network provider and location. As soon as he hung up with that call i inquired him regarding the app .. Thats SOCIALLY, You can download socially from Nokia's OVI store or if you are using any other mobile phone other than nokia check out in the internet...

Its a really cool application, the concept is so good but its still not ready for the market...
Its missing some essential features as far as i'm concerned. 
The another interesting thing that i found in that app was four square. Though i have heard that name somewhere, i have never used it.. today i created a four square log in and checked in couple of places. its really great.. i din't expect like i can find many places checked in around me using foursquare. I also added some tips to some places through four square . 
When i searched in the net about this tool, i found plenty of apps like autocheckin,stumble!to, using their apis to provide various services. they will take your location from google latitude,your phone etc and even from nike shoe sensors[i dont know what they mean about this]....You can find lot of unexplored places around you with this tool.. can see the tips posted by others in that place,,,
