Not at all, they are mobile, and social, and location based. All they need now is coupons.

I think they have coupons :)

they have the "specials". speaking of which, has anyone actually successfully redeemed a "special" lately? I got 2 in my last trip to SFO, showed them on the counter and no one there knew what it was/gave me anything... :(

I got 4 pieces of chicken wings at Hooters in LA once. :-)

I was able to get a couple of specials honored in SF (buy one get one drinks in both cases).

Recently I've seem some of the specials requiring an AMEX credit card linked to my foursquare account, which I feel crosses the "worth it" line.

Buzz words do not a viable service make.

That's the joke.

But it's important to get the order of the buzzwords correct, otherwise investors will know you're bullshitting them. Is Foursquare a location-based social network with real-time context-aware recommendations? Or is Foursquare a cloud-based social recommendations app with location-aware analytics?

If they get the order right they might have a chance to get more funding.
