BLOG The London Team Part 2 with extra weight Getting the backing from the community on such a project has been so pleasing, so many good comments and well wishes has made this a joy to work on, but getting the message out to London is a tough challenge you need the heavy weight of our social space to help with this If only we had the massive support of @LDN and @Londonist. In my view the 2 social goliaths of this city. Well not only are they BOTH supporting the London superswarm attempt but are fully partnering with us to make sure we sp
BLOG The London superswarm team When I started this project I knew I would not be able to do this type of event by myself and that I would meet / pickup / bump into / be approaced by the best people. And I was right. As this is to be a foursquare community driven activity, I did not want to put in place any marketing, public relations, event management or any other specialised support people who will just see this as a job or task. I wanted people who know foursquare and have already been very vocal about the experience an
BLOG The Day, Time and Location are set Well we had to pick a time and place one day. THURSDAY 7th OCTOBER 2010 CENTRAL LONDON 6:00PM This has not been an easy decision but the community feedback has been that Thursday would be the best time with an evening kick off to catch the 3 hour superswarm window. The exact location will be posted soon, but we have a few small matters to sort out first.
BLOG Challenge One - What style of event should we pick. So let's get this clear, I have never organised a meet up or an event,so this is a challenge for me, but I think what we are trying to achieve is possible. While thinking through my strategy about creating a superswarm I came to the conclusion that there are two completely different approaches to the type of event: 1) Are you going to get people to come to a one off place and get your swarm together a little bit like organising a flashmob? 2) Piggy back on an event with a gathering
BLOG What got me thinking I don't really consider myself a geek or anytype of cutting edge guy, but i have enjoyed foursquare from very early on. Back in August 2009, i found myself looking over the apps market at the new stuff coming over from the USA and of course foursquare, gowalla etc. was the buzz. It was 4sqr that caught my eye. I never really got into the mayor chasing game but did like the idea of seeing where the crowdsourcing data was telling me where people had been or where they are now. I still envisage i

BLOG The journey begins - how to get a foursquare superswarm badge It's easy really, just get 250 people together in the same room with a smartphone (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Palm and even web enabled phones); get them all to check in over a three hour period and it's done - you get the happy badge: It's as simple as that. Or is it??? In the USA there have been a number of superswarm badges and the first 20 are listed here. But there has still not been one achieved in the UK. But we have big events. Even if we look at recent big gatherin
