Foursquare Trophy Case

Behold the Foursquare Trophy Case! Foursquare has outed a new section on its website to help you keep track of your location lunacy and show off your Foursquare badges. There’s so much badge bragging, it’s like a virtual Scout Hut without the threat of having to deal with any creeping old men or learning to tie knots.

You can get at the Foursquare Trophy Case by heading to the Foursquare website and clicking on Badges. Foursquare says it’ll be adding more tools for companies and organisations to add badges soon. To begin with, it’s adding the likes of The American Red Cross badge, which you earn by giving blood (and checking in, while you do it). Whatever next, an Electricpig badge perhaps?

Though Blackberry apps aren’t nearly as plentiful as Android or iPhone apps, RIM CEO Jim Balsillie says we shouldn’t worry about all that.
