« Here are a Bunch of New Foursquare Badges, Y’all!

All my Foursquare Badge Information is Updated…FINALLY!

I know that my badge information has been a tad behind recently. I have been out of town on business and have not been able to keep up. I am back now, though and it seems as though I am caught up. Please let me know if there is anything I am missing now!

A special thank you to all of you who have helped me identify the issues, problems, and incorrect information! It is for you guys that I keep this page going.

Here is a summary of all the changes and additions:

Comments are closed on this page. If you have a correction to the info listed, please leave a comment on the badge’s page by clicking on the badge name. If you have information about a badge that you do not see here (or any other info/ideas you would like to share), please click the “Contact thekruser” tab above.

Updates will be announced in blog posts like this one, so be sure to follow me on twitter or subscribe to my RSS feed.
