What does MTV mean?

MTV means Music Television

MTV is a television network that started in 1981 with a new concept: the non-stop broadcasting of (music) video clips. The network started with the broadcasting of "Video killed the radio star" of the Buggles. From the start the station was popular and played an important role for Western culture. MTV has played an important role not only in the field of music, but also in fashion and film areas. Meanwhile, MTV has many music stations (MTV Nederland, TMF, VH1, etc.), and the station has less and fewer music, but gets over to music-related programs (reality shows of pop stars, animated series). In these times, MTV still stands for the youth culture, with roots in music, but not just music. Watch the MTV content on the website. MTV start [YouTube] DKkJk51oa6A [/youtube]

What is Foursquare?

Foursquare is a location based Twitter

With FourSquare, users can share tips from location. It is about tips of the form: in this restaurant they have good food, in this café it is always too busy on Sunday afternoon, etc. Users of FourSquare get points for the tips, and also points for check-in at a location. Check-in is meant to indicate: I am now present at this location. The idea here is firstly that you can see your friends. So it is a website (with applications for your mobile phone) with three goals:

  1. Mobile Friends Viewfinder
  2. Tips for a city
  3. Game

The game element is thus in the points, and for certain actions you get a badge (this may be frequent check-in on a day, often leaving a tip, adding new locations, etc.). In this way the game element is thus as many points as possible, but also collect as many badges as possible. In America it is already normal, but Dutch companies are now playing in this. If you are mayor of a location, you can get free things. Check out the Snack square website to see the Dutch participants.
