What is Foursquare?

What is the meaning of Leave a comment

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.

What does Jailbreak mean?

What is the meaning of Leave a comment

Jailbreak is escaping from jail

However, that is the translation from English. Nowadays, jailbreaking means cracking your hardware so you can do more with it. Since the advent of the IPhone, jailbreaking has become popular. Normally, the hardware (IPhone) is equipped with an operating system with limited capabilities. In the case of the iPhone you can only install applications from the itunes Store, after jailbreaking you can also install applications that are not in the itunes store. Jailbreaking is a fairly harmless process: a number of operating system files are modified (and can be rolled back if desired). The biggest reason to jailbreak is because more is made possible. When the APP store offers enough software, it is not necessary for most people to jailbreak their phone. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEbCzkcrXJk
