The Foursquare City Guide App is closing on Dec 15th
Getting ready to say goodbye to Foursquare, an app I’ve used almost daily since its earlier form back in 2009 between my time studying and working and living in the UK, then in San Francisco, Paris, and my native French Riviera. Back then I used to check-in to places I visited from the mobile browser of my Nokia blackberry knockoff (E63) (2009-2011), then an Android phone (2011-2013), and finally from the dedicated iPhone apps (2013+). During that time the Foursquare app (and later Swarm) has almost always been on my phone’s Home Screen.
I’m feeling genuinely sad about this, truly the end of an era for a formative time in my life, the late 2000’s-early 2010s “SoLoMo” (Social Local Mobile) apps.
4SQ has been invaluable, not just for memorizing/logging/remembering places I’ve been to, but also to discover new places.
I traveled the world by myself for most of 2017, but Foursquare was my guide to discover new favorites while visiting cities all around Asia or America for the very first time. The amount of time I’ve spent on this app is immeasurable and I have a hard time wondering how I’ll get by the next time I explore a new city in the world.
As I start looking at substitutes, it seems that Superlocal could be an option. Otherwise North.Industries which I need to look into. But I need to do a lot more research!
Well the corporate team at Intuit seems just like one might have guessed:
“I got a note from (…) the chief communications officer at Intuit, who called the line of questioning and my tone “inappropriate,” “egregious,” and “disappointing” and demanded that we delete that entire section of the recording. I mean, literally — he wrote a long email that ended with “at the very least the end portion of your interview should be deleted. We don’t do that here at The Verge.”

Well… this is just over a year away, but bound to be a lot of fun! @Offspring with @SimplePlan as the opening act 💪👨🎤🤘🎸🔥
Added my concerts to the @ACMomento Music Beta and I gotta say this one was possibly the most “you just had to be there” moment!
Turns out the great Vinyl market drought was an error. Here’s Discogs with the explainer:
You’ve likely felt the panic this week: Vinyl sales are reportedly down by (a somewhat ironic) 33.3%, marking the first decline in 17 years. Inflation and industry greed are to blame. But these headlines didn’t paint the entire picture.
[…] Discogs contacted Chris Muratore, director of partnerships at Luminate, who confirmed that the reported data is incorrect. Vinyl sales are actually up 6.2 percent. Billboard has since added language to their “Market Watch” report, clearing up the error.

First ever @Euroleague win for my @parisbasketball, tonight, and it was against reigning champions Panathinaikos Athens
Rethinking my RSS and Blogs consumption and giving the new #Reeder a try…
Curious to see how I leverage the podcasts, youtube channels, and social media feeds…
“The Fray” released a new album last week and I was wondering why it sounded so different. Turns out, the lead singer is no longer in the band and owns a record store now… #TheFrayIsBack #HowToSaveALife
Holy shit Derrick Henry really picked his moment to turn on the boosters: 3mn left in Overtime! #RavensFlock #RavensAtBengals
Paris Basketball doubleheader
Getting this basketball doubleheader started with @ParisBasketball Women’s first home game (for their inaugural season).
Our new women’s team is in the fourth tier but we’re hoping they’ll climb the ranks over the next few years.
Love the example it sets for our daughters to have role models to look up to just a few minutes away from home!
