I got this tip via Tonyo Cruz‘s Twitter. According to SocialPR, the Philippines has 45,000 users of the mobile check-in service Foursquare. If this information is correct then that’s a considerably low number considering we have over 20,000,000 Facebook users.

I went to Pancake House in Bonifacio High Street the other day for a lunch meeting. While waiting for my colleague to arrive for our meeting I decided to check-in [...]

LOL. Couldn’t resist writing this short entry. One of my closest blogger friends, Noemi Dado, checked-in the House of Representatives a few minutes ago via Foursquare. As proof of her being a new media political advocate, she got awarded the Mayor badge, hahaha! To those who don’t know what Foursquare is, it’s a mobile social [...]
