After Sunday night's announcement that Osama bin Laden is dead, Foursquare users have -- in a ceremonial gesture -- started checking in to a world in which the Al Qaeda founder no longer exists.
A quick search on Foursquare in New York for "Osama" reveals such checkin locations as "Osama bin gonathon" and "Osamapacolypse 2011."
The gesture recalls, on a much larger scale, how users began checking in to a major New York City snow storm in 2010 with made-up venues such as Snowpocalypse 2010.
Are checkins of this nature occurring where you live? Are you checking in to them?
