IdoCheckin launches for Lotusphere 2012 #ls12
Tags :IdoCheckin Foursquare location checkin places
| IdoCheckin is back for the fourth year due to your continued support. I would not keep growing this each year if you all did not participate and want the feature. The growth last year can heavily be attributed to Ben Langhingrich and his amazing FREE Lotusphere sessions database he spends countless hours developing. Then he partners with The Turtle Partnership to bring the application to mobile devices. IBM is on a push that includes location, so why not continue to showcase and grow it during Lotusphere 2012 and IBM Connect 2012 in January? Here is a refresher for you. What's New? Every meeting room, public congregating area and more at Lotusphere has already been mapped. You will be able to check in everywhere you go! There is a main check in for Lotusphere 2012 to let us know you arrive on site. From there, pick anyplace and share. Is there prizes? Mayors at the end of the week for some randomly selected locations will have Bags 'O Schwag shipped to them (courtesy of Consultant In Your Pocket and Spiked Studio Productions). | |
How many locations will there really be and what about duplicates?
Have no fear. Duplicates will be merged together daily. The goal is to have pretty much each room and main area (like the Dolphin Fountain) available. Being able to find friends and make swarms is the goal here. I would love to see everyone get a larger super duper or epic swarm badge. If you do not find a site, create it yourself or let us know and I will make sure it gets created shortly.
Ok, so I am in and want to participate. Where do I get the client, find friends and get started?
This is the easy part. You can get a client for most types of phones, and even use the web interface. iPhone/iPad/iPod, Android, Blackberry (Appworld link), Ovi and even more on the Foursquare site.
You can make sure to add myself and the Lotusphere relay account. From there make sure you let it search against your Twitter, Facebook or other friends to get started. On site just find people checking into places like you and add them in!
Look for more news coming shortly. Some additional pages are being added to show the major for each location to keep you up to date.
