Foursquare Hits the Massive Number, the Mighty Million
Congratulations are in order to the one millionth user of Foursquare. Congratulations to you QuakeHOLD I of Escondido, California, you’re it!
Or at least you’re the user that has the millionth ID, but that still makes a statement. That’s correct, the very much talked about, location based, service finally crossed that milestone. Yesterday there was some hinting from Foursquare that the milestone was on its through a tweet talking about how they were closing in on the one million with the current count being almost 970k.
Although it has yet to be acknowledging publicly it seems like it happened sometime earlier this morning.
Foursquare has been amassing users at an insane rate ever since the ostensible Location War at the SXSW back in March. During the duration of the conference Foursquare had signed up 120k new users within just 10 days. Obviously hitting a million today they’ve been keeping up their tremendous signup rates and have even expanded on them.
During the peak times Foursquare has been hitting right around 400k check-ins per day which is showing that the users that are signing up are using it on a continual basis as well. It only took Foursquare just a little over a year in order to get their million users. In comparison Twitter took right about two years in order to reach their first million. Granted though, that just two years after that they’re now over 100 million users.
Foursquare would obviously love to see that type of growth assuming that they don’t end up selling themselves first. Applications like this really do show the direction that people are taking and the way that the mobile market is affecting our daily lives.
For now celebrate, tomorrow can be the look toward the future.
