What is a foursquare check-in? When you tell foursquare where you are, that's a "check-in". You can check in from parks, bars, museums, restaurants, libraries… anywhere.

What are badges? Rewards earned based on your check in habits (e.g. frequenting too many karaoke bars, eating lots of pizza, taking your kids to the playground).

What’s a foursquare “mayor”? Mayorships are awarded to customers with the most days checked into a venue over the last 60 days

STARBUCKS Customers earn a barista badge by checking into 5 separate Starbucks. The “mayor” of each location is entitled to $1 off of a Frappuccino
