Tweetups and location-based services go hand and hand. Attendees can check-in at a Tweetup and share with their soical graph about the experience and even use location-based services to say they’re own the way to a tweetup. Part of the #TriangleTweetup team is a little bias when it comes to location based apps and would love for everyone to check-in with TriOut but we know there are a few more location-bases apps that the community uses such as Foursquare, Gowalla, Whrrl, Brightkite and more.
For the TriangleTweetup we’re encouraging everyone to check-in at least using both TriOut and FourSquare. If you check-in with TriOut you’ll receive a special #TriangleTweetup badge along with 10 points that will count towards your weekly points total. Your points can be used for the current TriOut leaderboard contest this week.
Foursquare has a badge called a “Swarm” badge that you’ll receive after 49 people have checked into a location. We have over 200 people RSVPed for the event and I’m sure we have a least 100 of the attendees are using TriOut and/or Foursquare. So collecting the swarm badge should be a no brainer. Note: I don’t want to encourage check-in cheating but it was noted on the following http://www.4squarebadges.com blog
The first 49 people do not get this badge. The way to fix that if you are one of them is to checkin to another close location and check back into the main event.
Meaning you could check-in let’s say … Tyler’s Restaurant & Taproom then come back and check into @Bronto to collect the swarm badge if you’re one of the first 49 to check-in using Foursquare. #justsayin. What would be really awesome if we had 250 people to check-in to collect a Foursquare superswarm badge! #justsayin again…
Drive safe and don’t forget to check-in when you arrive at Bronto.
