Foursquare Badge Update for 10 March 2010
As you know, I released some info on some new badges for SXSW 2010 earlier today. Since then, I have done some research and have come up with some more info. Please see the updates below. The generic badges have been replaced with unconfirmed images of what the badges will look like. If you happen to earn one or more of them, please comment either below or on the main foursquare badge page. Thank you for visiting. I hope to hear from you!
A special thanks goes out to varcon for providing as much information as you did!
