Pepper is a crazy person! Brilliant idea, this could catch on, physical cards I mean not 4sqr. I know I'm going to try and take over the Boloco on Newbury street.

Thanks for the comments, guys! I think it's a great idea and I like how he combines the online with the offline. It will be interesting to see how this program takes root.

I think another area of discussion is what Foursquare will do about Mayorships once people start really owning these at certain places. If I check into a place 500 times, who's going to catch me? Will they limit by month?

I thought they could actually create a deputy mayor on Foursquare that could be based on how many times a person checked in during a month or week. This would up the ante a little bit, especially for establishments where the mayor's position is all sewn up. What do you think?

As always, right-on Joe! Love Boloco. Love what they do with SM for customer service/conversation. Love their authenticity/honesty. Good example of how there really is no difference between their brand and their culture. It starts with John and his willingness to be a part of the conversation – whether the conversation is spearing the brand or celebrating it. Foursquare fits right into their culture and I can't wait to see the response and result of their new program…definitely a lot .orgs can draw from.
