For me personally, this ruined Foursquare. I was really enjoying the game for a while, competing for mayorships with my friends, until I started to see people checking in one place, and then checking in five miles away immediately after. It really affected my motivation to compete at Foursquare.
From Foursquare versus Gowalla, round two. I love Foursquare, and competing against others (because I’m very competitive), but I 100% agree here on the cheating. It’s making me care less and less about using Foursquare. It gets less fun if there’s no honest competition.

Saturday night Alexis and I made our annual trip to the Michigan Theater to watch the Oscar nominated short films, both live action and animated. I’ll be posting a review of them all soon but for the time being, here’s Logorama, one of the animated shorts. It’s made from over 2,500 logos and stars Big Boy, Mr. Pringles and the Michelinman. It’s NSFW due to language but I’m guessing you’ll be thoroughly enjoying the film you won’t even notice.

Great short film.
