Foursquare

Location sharing startup

Foursquare is a location-based social networking app that lets users check in at venues and discover nearby places.

The name plays on the children's game and the idea of claiming your spot.

Separately, Foursquare Church refers to the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, a Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in 1923. (Lowercase foursquare means solidly established or square-shaped.)
