Foursquare is our favorite socializing app. We think it’s the best because it turns city exploration and your current location into a socializing experience!

Now you might come back at me with another question: “Why in the world would I want people to know where I am at all times?!”

Foursquare, a geo-location social networking tool that pioneered the “check-in” sphere, hit a user base of 10 million this week.  People use Foursquare to check in and let people know where they are at the moment.  To commemorate a modest growth from zero users to 10 million in a little over 2 years, the NY-based company published

Social Media has changed relationships, the way we communicate and even break ups with our ex’s.

Once upon a time, breaking up meant an awkward conversation, removing a picture or two from your bed stand, and packing up your ex’s things into a box –never to be seen again.  If your ex tried to call you afterward, you could ignore the call by sending it to voicemail.  These days breakups are way different.  Aside from having to publicly display your changed relationship status to 500+ Facebook friends and then field tons of questions from people you hardly speak with (case in point: misery loves company), there are so many things to consider, like: do I unfriend? Just the ex, or the ex and his/her friends? Their family? Where do you draw the line?
