This Is How You Mayor: Taking Foursquare...

Talkat Web 2.0 Expo New York 2010 · 2010-09-27..09-30· [developer-experience]
slides:none on file

Runs a 30-day check-in campaign at Delicatessen with strict rules: no drive-bys, real presence only, campaign manager recruited, daily check‑ins tracked by Foursquare. Builds campaign assets — photos, rival specialty drinks, a mayor meals fundraiser, street rally and inauguration with etched mayor glasses. Outcome: earns local press, doubles the deli’s Twitter followers, secures Foursquare attention, pilots POS/compensation ideas, trains volunteers as temporary staff, and ultimately loses mayorship after choosing canvassing over a check‑in but leaves lasting business engagement.
