Foursquare is getting more dynamic with comments and photos

Foursquare has announced a second major update for their famous location service. In this update they have included a better interface and the option to allow photo uploads. Foursquare did an amazing job implementing this feature, and also partnering with Instagram, PicPlz, and Foodspotting. Although this feature is nothing new in the check-in world, this seems to be a very successful venture for Foursqaure. Gowalla has had this feature for about nine months and Gowalla recently released data saying they hit the one million mark for photos uploaded.

I think it goes without saying that Google sure knows how to get people excited, even if it is just for a web-based presentation application. Now why couldn’t they have made something this impressive for the now deceased Google Wave?

There’s no specific mention as to how much it went down for, but we’re sure there were quite a lot of zero’s at the end of that check — More details after the break!
