Foursquare is making another move to become one of the preeminent social media platforms in the market by its recent launch of their very own App Gallery. Similar to Twitter and Facebook, Foursquare has been gaining significant momentum on its way to becoming one of the few leading platforms on the web. There are over 500 Foursquare apps out there, based on the number of registered tokens.
Currently, Foursquare is only highlighting 10 apps to show a proof of concept for how the gallery will work. They’re asking all developers to submit their app through this page so they can showcase all the various apps built on top of Foursquare.
Apps themselves have their own pages in the App Gallery. For example, here’s the page for Mob Zombies
, an iPhone game that is built on top of Foursquare. Apps get descriptions and screenshots, similar to Apple’s iTunes store. The pages also feature Facebook’s new Like button to easily share. And, of course, there’s a big button to “Try this application.”
This is a great new move from Foursquare.
