TBD and Foursquare offer a guide to DC dining

You’ve seen on us Twitter, Facebook and Flickr – now TBD’s infiltrating Foursquare.

Don’t worry, we aren’t stalking you – we just want to help make social media work a little harder for you.

Yeah, that’s right – Foursquare and work. It isn’t JUST a game.

In addition to the never-ending quest to earn badges and mayorships, Foursquare gives users a unique opportunity to share and access information about the places they visit.

Imagine checking in at a restaurant you’ve never been to only to find all the info you need right on your phone in the form of user tips. One person recommends a dish that isn’t on the menu (“but they’ll make it if you ask”), another informs you there’s another ladies room in the basement. Handy info, right?

 

We’d like to think so. That’s why TBD is teaming up with Foursquare and our network of 100+ community partners to bring you tips on local dining and attractions as you wander the DMV.

Become friends with us on Foursquare and you can get help with your order from the hungry bloggers of Dining in DC, Metrocurean, Capitol Bites and more of our partners. If you want more info, click on the link in the tip to see the full review on the blog.

You find out to avoid the fish at Cafe So-and-So and some deserving local bloggers get new readers coming to their sites. Everybody wins.

Aside from dining tips, we have a lot more we want to do with Foursquare once we get this thing launched. If you’re currently a member, follow us. If you’re not, well, we’ll understand.
