Is Foursquare in the UK just a London thing?

    I think that Foursquare and other location-based apps like Gowalla and Rummble are predominantly London based. Perhaps it's to do with the amount of media-savvy produsers (producers/users) who enjoy these applications (as I do!).

    I live in Leeds and am studying for a Masters in Public Relations so I think this is a very interesting self-promotional application. However, in Leeds there only appears to be a few people who are active users with less than ten users being majors of all major places, i.e. Starbucks, University Libraries, etc. and all other locations with only 1-2 check-ins. I do wish others would jump on board. *Fingers crossed*
