Google started the hype of NFC with their Nexus S, and it’s cool to just ‘check-in’ at places by tapping on a simple board. Now even Foursquare is into this game. Business Insider discovered something of a surprise while touring Foursquare’s New York headquarters for launch of Foursquare 3.0. It turns out that the company is already testing out an NFC-based check-in system at its HQ, which lets those with a suitable phone (such as a Nexus S) share their location simply by tapping it against a blue dot on the wall. Of course, this is only a leak picture, and Foursquare currently hasn’t comment on this, so there’s no indication of when this will actually be released to the public. But I foresee this to be in a very near future. This is why having NFC on your phone is fun.
