subject: SCVNGR: check-in application with cool [print this page] Social networking has evolved over the past few months, primarily from the online status updates and sharing the URL for a more mobile check-in service, where users are now sharing more about yourself and your life than ever before. Services, such as Foursquare, Gowalla, and others are now enables users to share where they are and what they do in real time with friends and the rest of the world.
Im willing to bet that he never heard of SCVNGR I do not teach this site until this morning when their mobile application was released on the Android community.
SCVNGR hopes to take the evolution of the check-in and kick it up a notch. Besides the standard check-in services, people have tried to develop what SCVNGR worldwide scavenger hunt with the challenges of fun wherever you are waiting for work.
Imagine going into your favorite burrito shop, firing up SCVNGR application for check-in and offered to transform the challenge of packaging tin foil origami sculpture on four points. Or going to a local zoo and are called to respond to the crazy puzzles for a free gorilla suit? Okay, so that the latter was a little bit from the wall and is composed entirely, but thats the beauty of SCVNGR. All the challenges are either user-created/inspired or generated by the companies themselves.
SCVNGR offers fresh and innovative take on the traditional check-in services. With the added ability to complete a nice challenge for all of your favorite places, I think SCVNGR has the ability to really take off, and is a fun new way to interact with the environment.
Over 550 firms are currently paying customers SCVNGR including museums, universities and companies who use it for things like tours, directions and team-building exercises.
Not for scavenger hunts? SCVNGR has a more traditional check-in, and the ability to snap and post pictures and write a quick little blurb about the location. There really is something for everyone. Given the above, SCVNGR depends on members like you to use this service and fun to add new challenges, so go and check it out today.
SCVNGR can be found for free at Android Market. Some users report that SCVNGR is not available in the Android 1.6 or below, so for now I will say this only available on Android 2.0 +.
If you are attending Google I / O this year, you get to try a mobile game at the conference.
