Foursquare app adds Android Beam support

#
Foursquare is evolving into a mobile platform much more serious than just a library of fancy badges.

The location-based social media app is reportedly adding near-field communications (NFC) support to its Android app for devices running 4.0, a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich. (It only makes sense to add it to the Android one considering the only smartphones with NFC run on Google’s mobile OS at this point.)

At this point, it seems that the NFC functionality will only be put to use to share lists and venues that Foursquare users have visited, streamlining the process for recommendations and making the experience all the more personal.
