Foursquare has revamped its popular badge system in an effort to increase user engagement and encourage exploration.
Details of the Foursquare Changes:
- The core 24 category badges will begin leveling up based on users’ checkins.
- A numerical icon now appears on the bottom right of badges such as “JetSetter,†“Wino†and “Great Outdoorsâ€, indicating how often users have checked in to places related to those badges.
- Foursquare badges reach their peak at 10 levels — 48 checkins in any given category.
The revamped badge system helps identify people for their expertise in specific verticals. The goal is to get more experts to generate content such as tips.
