Remember Foursquare? Long Live Lifelogging!

Back in 2009, Foursquare was a social media darling akin to Facebook and Twitter. So what happened? It turns out that it was never about the mayorships. Cornering the market on geolocation was where the money was at. When Foursquare split into Foursquare City Guide and the Swarm check-in app in 2014, a mass exodus occurred.

But what if you never left Foursquare/Swarm? Find out what it looks like when you have logged every place you have ever visited for 15 years. See what you can do with that data, how it can enhance your life and how it can actually influence others. And learn what the bearers of the Foursquare banner look like today.

Lifelogging doesn't have to mean that you post live from a wearable camera all day. In some way, everybody reading this is a likely lifelogger in some way. Whether you are using Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr, Reddit, Yelp, Google, Goodreads, Fitbit, Strava or even GitHub, you are providing snippets of your world and work under a profile to be viewed by others.

After a fun presentation, be ready to share any of your favorite lifelogging experiences and apps. As well, share your disappointments and concerns with the state of social sharing. It will all be interesting!
