Cool New Technology!

This article talks abotu a cool new technology that has just reached the publics attention called Foursquare. Foursquare "lets users “check in” with a cellphone at a bar, restaurant or art gallery. That alerts their friends to their current location so they can drop by and say hello." The article portrayed a lot of different aspects of the new program ranging from the business side, to the perspectives of the users, to the history of the invention of the program.

An interesting, almost Hearstian, twist that was added to this article was the idea that Foursquare was like a secret club, where only the really trendy people are involved. This added entertainment value to the article. It was a the subtle seductively of being a part of this exclusive group of people that kept my interest throughout the article.
