Just one month after releasing Foursquare to 15 new cities in the US and Canada, Foursquare is ready to bring their highly addictive game and business-friendly service to 50 more cities. That's actually twice as many cities as the service was in before today, bringing the total to 100 different cities worldwide.

We've included the full list of new cities below, but perhaps the most significant part of today's push is that it brings the application to a multitude of cities across the world in the places like South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, all over Europe, and even the Middle East.

Founder Dennis Crowley tells us that the company is still preparing for a "Foursquare everywhere" launch, but that they really wanted to incorporate the most requested cities as soon as possible. So the cities included in this list are what the company saw people talking about and/or requesting the most on Twitter and through their other feedback channels.

Diehard Foursquare fans may be wondering when/if the company will release new updates to the game. The good news is that Crowley tells us that new features are right around the corner. In an email to Mashable, Crowley writes:

"We've been working on this code re-write forever - which is why we haven't been pushing new features recently.  We've been hustling to get everything re-worked by Thanksgiving so we can come back from the break and start rolling out all the scoring fixes and cheater fixes, reworked UX, new website, etc."
