Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley, who ironically got lost on his way to Web, just broke some stats about the company on stage at the conference.
Foursquare hit over 5 million users last week and is at 2 million check-ins and 25K new users a day, Crowley confirmed onstage.
Crowley also revealed that sers are split up geographically between 60% US and 40% international, with the average Foursquare user checks in 3-4 times day.
Foursquare just hired an engineer that only deals with statistics.
What is FOURSQUARE??
Foursquare is a web and mobile application that allows registered users to connect with friends and update their location.
- Users can create a "To Do" list for their private use and add "Tips" to venues that other users can read, which serve as suggestions for great things to do, see or eat at the location.
- Users can choose to have their check-ins posted on their accounts on Twitter, Facebook or both. In version 1.3 of their iPhone application, Foursquare enabled push-notification of friend updates, which they call "Pings."
- Users can also earn badges by checking in at locations with certain tags, for check-in frequency or for other patterns such as time of check-in.The company has stated that users will be able to add their own custom badges to the site in the future. I
- When a user "checks in" to a venue on Foursquare via a mobile app, if he or she is within 10 check-ins of becoming the mayor, Foursquare alerts the user of the days left before becoming mayor on the check-in confirmation screen.
