Fairfield Webmaster Gives Foursquare Day Gift

Do you use Foursquare? The social media site allows users to “check in” at locations all over Fairfield, and all over the world. This Saturday millions of the site’s users will be celebrating “Four Square Day,” in honor of the date — April 16, or 4/16, or four squared.

The website offers its users more than just a chance to meet up with friends on the go. Some businesses offer special deals or giveaways to people who check in at their locations. For example, if you pop into the Fairfield Public Library and check in, try to track down Webmaster Merry Uk. She’ll gladly hand over a Fairfield Library reusable shopping bag if you show her your check-in screen.

“I thought is was a great idea to advertise our business,” Uk said about why she decided to start up the library’s Foursquare promotion last year. “A lot of other libraries around the country are doing the same thing.”
