Foursquare Badges: The Ultimate Guide (PICTURES)

Ever wonder what those Foursquare badges mean? Or how to get them? Whether you're a newbie or a supermayor this handy guide will show you all the best badges and what it takes to unlock them. We left off most of the partnership badges because the Bravo-inspired batch are pretty useless (who cares if you shop like Jill Zarin?) Add more if we left your favorite off!

Check in at 20 different pizza places? I seriously doubt I've been in 20 pizza places in my life. Sort of a sad badge.

"Here is a partnership badge my agency put together with Foursquare for the 2010 Adobe SXSW conference: http://foursquare.com/user/socialjulio/badges/1174485 Those that unlocked the badge had a chance to win Adobe software and other prizes. "

And my reply:

"BFD. STUPID concept, but then again I guess you do have to target the largest demographic."

Wait, you can make badges on 4-sq? I totally need to make one called "the Garcia" for checking in at head shops.

Be sure to copy and paste that instead of clicking. In my browser, at least, the "(service)" isn't carried over when clicking.

LOL! Did I "checkin" out and miss something? I have no idea what this is, but the badges are pretty.

Did I missed something? First of all, what is Foursquare? and where is it?

BFD. STUPID concept, but then you do have to target the largest demographic I suppose.
