Foursquare and changing behaviors

Cross posted from my blog.
And once my friends showed up, the thing that makes a product truly innovative happened: my behavior changed.
Here are a few examples:
- Planning a pub crawl with a friend that uses Foursquare, with the goal of trying to win the Foursquare points battle in my city
- Actually dragging myself off the couch to meet friends, with some motivation coming from checking into places with the app
- Getting heckled by a friend due to a series of "effeminate" [sic] check ins, then making a point of checking in at more masculine places
- When meeting friends, relying on checkins to replace texting the location to meet
