@phocks I *loved* Foursquare - for the "game", the log, and the guide - their recommendations were always spot on and miles ahead of yelp/google maps etc. It served us incredibly very well when travelling during its heyday.

Very sad to see it shut down.

@decryption Hmmm...
It’s been echoed in the polls for a while, so it’s no surprise, but what a devastating, disappointing result. I feel so sad that The Voice became such a decisive, partisan issue. We deserve better.
@ash Ahh just seeing this now, bummed we missed it. Always keen for a #BTUB revival!
@ryanbooker If you haven't seen it, I thought Norman Chan at Tested did a really good job with comparisons to other headsets out there (and also found the FOV to be a bit disappointing / fairly similar - that discussion is around the 13:45 mark). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0HBzePUmZ0

I still find it so funny that our local Coles got rid of their seafood section completely and replaced it with… Arnotts shapes.
Let’s party like it’s 2008.
Hot Take: They should bring back Twinkle as a mastodon client. That Nearby tab is a perfect match for how great Mastodon’s local feeds are.
I’ve got a couple of invites if anyone is keen to check it out.🙂

Gowalla is back from the dead and it’s giving me serious nostalgic late 2000s / Foursquare-before-swarm vibes.

It’s very early days (they’ve only just released their first proper TestFlight beta and started expanding testers) but Brisbane is looking pretty great already with all the cute stickers on the map.
