Microsoft showed off a Windows 8 app for Foursquare this morning at the company's Build 2013 developer conference.
The new Foursquare app was designed specifically with tablets in mind, said Microsoft Vice President Steve Guggenheimer as he showed the app for the first time publicly. The app has large, full-screen entries for venues, with an emphasis on photos. As a tablet app, Foursquare for Windows 8 appears to focus on browsing venues and seeing what your friends are up to rather than checking in.
Foursquare joins Twitter and Facebook on Windows 8, completing the social network "trifecta" of apps that many connected users expect on most platforms.
