Foursquare Starts Emphasizing “Days” Rather Than “Check-Ins” With Mayor Countdowns

Tech Crunch - Tech Crunch Topics

Back in June, we noted a couple of websites that existed for the sole purpose of revving up mayor battles on Foursquare: When Will I Be Mayor? and Be The Mayor. Today, Foursquare itself has just rolled out a small feature which should also entice users to battle for the crown. Now, when you check-in to a venue on Foursquare via a mobile app if you're within 10 check-ins of becoming the mayor, Foursquare will alert you how close you are on the check-in confirmation screen. But the way they do it is a bit different from simply "you need X more check-ins", instead they tell you that "you're now X days away from becoming Mayor". This is an important distinction as it shows that it's about more than raw number of check-ins.
