Foursquare has announced that they are going to launch their all new app called SWARM this summer. Foursquare is for explorers who want to know about the best spots, and to share what they’ve found with others. Swarm is for people who want the fastest and easiest way to connect with their friends,Swarm aims to facilitate meet-ups with friends more easily by letting you broadcast where you're going next and what your friends' plans are.
"We built Swarm because you’ve told us how often you still have to text your friends: “where are you?” and “what you up to later?” We wanted to build a quick way for you to know these two things for all of your friends. With Swarm, you can easily see which of your friends are out nearby, figure out who is up for grabbing a drink later, and share what you’re up to (faster and more easily than you can in Foursquare today). Swarm will be available on iOS and Android in the coming weeks, and soon after on Windows Phone, but you can read a ton more about it (including screenshots and some videos) on The Verge right now. If you sign up at swarmapp.com, we’ll email you when it’s ready." Foursquare.
"In the near future, the Foursquare app is also going to go through a metamorphosis. Local search today is like the digital version of browsing through the Yellow Pages (remember those?). We believe local search should be personalized to your tastes and informed by the people you trust. The opinions of actual experts should matter, not just strangers. An app should be able answer questions like ‘give me a great date dinner spot’ and not just ‘tell me the nearest gas station.’ We’re right now putting the final touches on this new, discovery-focused version of Foursquare. It’ll be polished and ready for you later this summer." Foursquare.
Swarm is rolling out in upcoming weeks to Android, iOS, with Windows Phone not too much farther behind.
