subject: How Do I Check-in To Foursquare Online? - Checking-in To Foursquare Made Easy [print this page] Many people may have signed up to Foursquare who may wish to check-in to their location using their computer rather than their mobile phone. This article shows you how to do this in 3 easy steps.
1. Login to the Foursquare Mobile website
As Foursquare is primarily a mobile social networking tool, you cannot check-in using the main Foursquare site on the Internet. Despite this, there is a way you can check-in online - by using Foursquare's mobile website. To get here, go to http://foursquare.com/mobile/ and login as usual.
2. Find Location
You will then be able to check-in by clicking on 'Check-in' and entering the name of your location.
If the venue is not known, you will be presented with a list of possibilities. If one of these fits with the description of where you are, you can select it to check-in. If nothing on the list fits the description of the venue you are in, you will have to add it to Foursquare before you can check-in there.
3. Check-in
Once you have entered your location, you can decide whether to show your location to friends, or whether to keep the check-in private. You can also decide whether to share your check-in with friends via Twitter or Facebook.
If your check-in is public, you can decide to add a 'shout', which will be a message displayed with your check-in.
Once you have made these decisions, you can click on 'Check-in'. This will then be entered as an activity on your history.
Clearly, it is simple to check-in to Foursquare online. Of course, the issue with checking-in to Foursquare on the mobile website is that it is open to abuse of the game as you could check-in to a location when you are not even there. However this would be seen as cheating and is not recommended. Checking-in using the mobile website is, however, a great way to check in for those who want to check in to Foursquare online.
