Foursquare reached a major milestone: 10 million members. So much for the idea of Facebook Places killing Foursquare. Foursquare is now the first location-based social network to reach 10 million users. To celebrate the occasion, they put together an infographic to illustrate their impressive growth over the past couple of years. Click here to view the infographic.
Some of the interesting highlights:
- It took foursquare five months to get its first 100,000 users and seven weeks to get its last million.
- 358 million checkins have been made outside of the U.S.
- The most popular checkin locations in the U.S.: Old Navy, Bank of America, 7-Eleven, Home Depot and Target all top the list.
- New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is also the Foursquare mayor of City Hall in NYC, and nearly 80,000 Foursquare mayors are ousted each day.
Do you think Foursquare will continue with this growth?
