Generating Utopia
media type="custom" key="23871060" media type="custom" key="23870926" Some people want to show their job is important to them, so their work place grows a huge pile, filling its surroundings with red tubes. Others want to show they are always on the go, so their landscape will fill with dozens of small hills and links in all colours. Some residents are mostly focused on the center of their city, building huge but compact structures; other spread out and integrate the city’s borders into the web. Stefan Wagner

Questions and Answers (Q&A)

 * What's a Mayor?**- Foursquare mayorships are awarded to visitors with the most days checked into a venue over the last 60 days. A mayor in foursquare is the user with the most number of *days* with check-ins at a specific place within the past 60 days. Only one check-in per day counts towards the mayorship tally. Tip: Only users with a photo uploaded to their account (no faceless mayors!) will be eligible, so you should upload a photo from your [|settings] page. [|Details]


 * What's a badge?** - Badges dreamt up by the members of the foursquare team, for things like regular workouts at your gym or being a local at your neighborhood coffee shop. [|Example]


 * What are the benefits?** - Members get recommendations and deals based on where you, your friends, and people with your tastes have been.


 * How should I interpret/share my stats?** When you log in, you have access to your personal stats from the current week or month. You have the option of sharing your stats or keeping the page private.


 * What's the difference between accessing Foursquare from a smartphone or a laptop/desktop computer?** It's easier to see the photos from the smartphone; Only way to rank photos is from the desktop or laptop computer

Quotes
The idea of turning an otherwise mundane process into a game, to give people more of an incentive to do it, has been a hot trend this year, known as gameification. [|Foursquare], which turns the tedious business of rating restaurants and shops into a huge online game, is perhaps the best example. - [|And now, the weather... from 1914]

2012 News
2012 has been a pretty huge year. We’ve released over fifty new features, welcomed nearly 15,000,000 new people to Foursquare, and had our 3,000,000,000th check-in. It’s a bit clichéd to say this, but your support really is what keeps us going day after day. As our product evolves, one of the things we do is update our policies to match it. And a big aspect of that is privacy (something we think about //a lot//). This email lays out a couple changes that we’ll be making to our privacy policy in the coming month, and explains how they affect you and what you can do about it.

We know that privacy policies can be dense, so we put together a high-level document that we think of as our “[|Privacy 101].” It describes, in an easy-to-read way, how we build privacy into our product. While it doesn't replace the legal need for the complete description of our privacy practices (which you can read [|here]), we hope it helps you better understand how we think about privacy. We’ve also added new explanations of how privacy works throughout the app in our [|FAQs], including our default privacy settings and how they can be adjusted.

Today's question
How do I remove a photo I've added to Foursquare?
