Easily the biggest complaint about Foursquare is that it’s simply not available in enough cities. That’s absolutely true. As of this morning, the service was only operating in 23 cities. But the company has just now flipped the switch on 15 new ones, brining the new total to 38.
Here are the cities that were added:
UNITED STATES
Baltimore, MD
Cleveland, OH
Indianapolis, IN
Kansas City, MO
Milwaukee, WI
New Orleans, LA
Omaha, NE
Pittsburgh, PA
Raleigh-Durham, NC
Richmond, VA
Salt Lake City, UT
San Antonio, TX
St. Louis, MOCANADA
Montreal, Canada
Toronto, Canada
As you can see, the list is still very U.S.-heavy, but Foursquare also just tripled the number of cities available in Canada (Vancouver was previously available). The company has also been working on becoming more available in Europe, as London was just launched last week, and Amsterdam before that.
Want Foursquare in your city? Request it here. Foursquare chooses and pre-populates content for these cities based on feedback from that form. And more are already in the works. “We’re just getting warmed up over here,” the Foursquare team notes on its blog today.
I haven’t been to my hometown of Cleveland in something like two years. Now I finally have a reason to go back. Oh yeah, and to see my family — to make sure they don’t get the mayorship of my childhood home!
I’ve been weary, but I just started using Foursquare based solely on the fact that Siegler likes it!
always a good reason to do anything.
“As you can see, the list is still very U.S.-heavy, but Foursquare also just tripled the number of cities available in Canada (Vancouver was previously available).”
Wow, a 200% increase! 3 times the previous number! What a huge step.
I just had to, you know, because I chuckled when I read that.
ha ha yeah
I started testing Fousquare in Raleigh-Durham the other day, excited about having it in NC, to bad I had to leave for BlogWorld in Vegas.
Yeah, same deal with me since I am in Montana
I’ll give it a workout next week though.

So what are you reasons for avoiding a LOT of other good apps? Why keep talking about this one?
apparently you need to give an incentive
The whole expanding to more cities in the wake of overwhelming demand from people in those places for a service that they can’t yet partake in reminds me of Facebook circa 2005, when people at non-supported schools were up in arms about not being able to use the site. Back then, Facebook used to list on its homepage when they’d added new schools. Ah, what a difference a few years makes…
Good point, had forgotten about that.
FourSquare’s lame. That is all.
Great, and addicting, app and awesome to have it here in Omaha now!
Dennis and the team are great guys and he cut a great interview with us:
