GetMayor Lets You Pay To Become A Foursquare Mayor

Just as with all popular new services, Foursquare now has a product that lets you pay to game the system. GetMayor lets users pay to become the mayor of various destinations. At the rate of $24.99 for a one time mayorship, and $89.99 for permanent mayorship, I seriously doubt this product is going to gain traction. The biggest issue here is that there’s little benefit to becoming a mayor of a venue.

In contrast to Twitter and Facebook, where having more followers and fans may potentially benefit your business, becoming a mayor accomplishes very little aside from letting you brag to your friends.
