Proposal

I have always found four square interesting on how people check in and places they have been. Recently I have spent a lot of time on four square trying to learn all the different functions that it offers. I want to propose a project where I send a facebook message out to a select few of friends that are around the same age as me that do not have four square with a rundown on how to sign up for four square and the basics how to use it. I will explain the amount of times that they need to check in a day for the remainder of the semester. I will then follow them on four square monitoring the places that they check in daily. I am interested to see the places that they go to and what ones do they go to more often, whether it is a certain food place or a certain hang out. It would definitely be fun to find out where the prime places of people my age hang out at. After I finish my research I hope to find patterns where each person frequents and write why that may be. It will also be interesting to find out their reaction when I tell them how many times they checked in at certain places.

  1. Travis,
    I am interested in viewing your proposal when finished. I am interested in using four sguare but haven't taken the time to learn it. Too many apps, not enough time.

  2. Travis,

    I am interested in seeing what the patterns are. It would also be interesting to see if you would categorize the participants by hobbies, careers, athletes, and non-atheltes. With the categories established, I think your results or patterns would have a connection with the categories. Good idea on the project!!

  3. I like the four square idea. There are so many tools out there, so seeing them put to work will be very interesting.
