C-SPAN Hops on Foursquare Bandwagon

Yet another television network is partnering with the hot New York-based geo-social start-up Foursquare. This time it is C-SPAN, the public service programmer.

Users that “friend” C-SPAN will receive educational and historical tips about locations in and around Washington DC. Eventually the tips will move outside the beltway.

In addition, the C-SPAN digital bus will “check-in” from across the country, adding tips of its own.

“Establishing a presence on foursquare is a natural progression for C-SPAN as we continue to embrace new and emerging online tools to advance our public service mission,” says C-SPAN co-president Rob Kennedy, who the network notes is currently C-SPAN’s Foursquare mayor.
