Checkin at Social Media Week With The Nokia Foursquare Vending Machine

There’s been some clever uses of the foursquare API to date, however, this one just may take the cake… or the candy bar in this case! The clever “Heads” at 1000Heads and the always innovating minds at Nokia have dropped a way cool bombshell on the attendees of a Social Media Week event in Glasgow (See http://socialmediaweek.org/) – The Nokia Gift Machine. Here’s the deal, attendees of the SMW event in Glasgow can stop by the machine and Checkin with Foursquare – hopefully using a cool Nokia N9, N8, or similarly impressive smartphone! Once the checkin has been received (I have to assume by selecting the “Nokia Gift Machine venue) the guest then waits to hear a “thud”. Then the lucky checkin recipient can slide open the door of the vending machine and grab the reward… likely a candy bar, however, there’s also a few Nokia smartphones inside as well! Way cool…  Source of inspiration, AllAbout foursquare
