Foursquare Points List: An Experiment
0
For those who do not already know, I just launched a new page: Foursquare Points List. Here I am listing all of the points available and how to earn them. I am sure the list is not at all complete. As I sat here and tried to figure out what the best way to get the info on all of the point values I came to the realization that it would eventually unfold just as my other pages — you leave a comment and I add it. Tedious.
So…I have decided to try something new. My readers are the most valuable source of information that I have. You guys come to my site, leave comments — by the hundreds I might add — and then I read your comments and update my site. Though much deliberation with myself (I argue with myself a lot!) I have decided this is a wasted step. After all, you have the information, why should I have to copy and paste it? Why not just let you enter it yourself? Saves us both some time!
Right now, i am allowing anyone to add a point value. I am a realist, however, and know this might prove to be a bad idea. As long as people behave and don’t try to add a bunch of spam, I will leave it open. If I start seeing spam and hack attempts I will just shut it down and put a Super User system in place (psst…don’t tell anyone, but I am working on that anyway for a few other pages of mine).
I hope you enjoy and that people act responsibly. It could be a cool thing for all of us!
Another Foursquare Badge List by thekruser: Updates
1I have been asked more than once to create a page with my most recent updates. You asked…thekruser delivered! Foursquare Badge List Updates is born.
The information shown is the most updated information. I will not be displaying progressive information. Confused? Here is what I mean:
Suppose I update Badge 1 at 9:00, then Badge 2 at 9:05, and finally Badge 3 at 9:10. The list would display as:
- Badge 3
- Badge 2
- Badge 1
Then, I find breaking information for Badge 2. The list would then show:
- Badge 2
- Badge 3
- Badge 1
NOT:
- Badge 2 (new information)
- Badge 3
- Badge 2 (old information)
- Badge 1
I hope you enjoy the new list! Let me know what you think!
A New Way to Look at Foursquare Brands
3
I have a confession to make: I am lazy. Wait…let me reword that.
I have revamped the way I track foursquare brands and realigned their presentation in order to facilitate a greater comprehension of what brands one needs to follow in the pursuit of the most elusive of badges, therefore creating the most useful list available on the internet today. WOW…that was a mouthful.
To be perfectly honest with you, the number of brands that are partnering with foursquare is growing so rapidly that I am having a hard time keeping up. Hey, I am a one-man-show here. Not only that, but another site has really outdone my list anyway.
In my opinion, it is far more productive to see what brands you really do need to follow in order to get the badges. So, without further ado, I give you the the most useful foursquare brand list on the internet. I hope you enjoy.
thekruser.com Takes all Three Major Search Engines!
1Remember when?
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may remember when I announced that thekruser.com had made the #1 slot on google. It was a crowning moment for me. It was for readers like you that I continued to update my page…and now pages. Honestly! I don’t get anything out of it.
A new milestone has been met
Now, I am proud to announce that thekruser.com has made the #1 slot on all three major browsers: google, bing, and yahoo!! I couldn’t be more excited. There are major corporations out there who still have yet to achieve this feat. This really is the biggest day in thekruser.com history! (more…)

Help Wanted: foursquare Badge List Author
3I am looking for someone to help me maintain my foursquare badge list. With everything going on in my life right now, keeping it updated is becoming increasingly difficult, so I am looking for some help.
The person I am looking for should:
- possess a basic understanding of WordPress
- have a thorough understanding of how foursquare and foursquare badges work
- be familiar with HTML
Responsibilities will include:
- coding new badge update posts
- coding new badge pages and updating existing ones
- keeping current with foursquare Badges
- seeking out new foursquare badges
- comment moderation
A few other things to know up front:
- Although it probably goes without saying, I have to put it in black and white: this is an unpaid position.
- Pages and posts will be of the same design as what I have created. While I am open to suggestions as to how to improve aesthetics and readability, all design decisions are solely mine to make.
- In the beginning, all posts and pages will be set for moderation before they will be posted to the site. Once I become comfortable with you and your work, I will open it up for automatic posting without moderation.
- Posts and pages authored by you are limited to foursquare related information.
- Failure to abide by the conditions listed herein will result in your author status being rescinded permanently.
If you are interested, author a new badge update post and email me the code at webmaster (at) thekruser (dot) com.
For examples of what the posts should look like, refer to these posts.
Thank you for your interest. I hope to be working with you soon. Have a great day, and happy foursquaring.
