You can make new friends within the city you live in
 with Foursquare
Foursquare is  a location-based service(or game as you look at it) for GPS-enabled  smartphones that allows you to check in at venues and locations you are visiting. The game aspects arises from th fact that you collect points by checking in, which in turn unlocks special foursquare badges. This encourages completition between users to be the Mayor and to check in at most of the venues. Users can also leave "Tips" about venues for verybody to see. These can act as recommendations or feedback for the venue either positive or nagative. The social aspect of Foursquare is that you can announce and broadcast your whereabouts to your friends. Furthermore, you can integrate Twitter and Facebook to announce your location across all your social networks. As an owner of a Venue, you can claim a property via the web interface and start offering "specials" to your regular clients.

All you need is a GPS -enabled cellphone to experience
 Foursquare
Get connected and get your friends online:

As a lonesome Foursquare user, you're like a person who's trying to party alone. It doesn't actually make sense till you have your friends or colleages online on Foursquare. To truly experience this service, invite as many friends as you know. Once you have significant following within your circle, you can experience its innovative features to socialise, meet up, share tips, and find stuff to do when you're bored. The idea behind Foursquare is that you get rewarded for the things you do and places you visit, rather than for the people you are connected to. This way , there's really not much incentive to add random users. It's about sharing what you have been up to with friends.
