Friends and the Raptor only aired in one of the infinite number of parallel universes that exist. It was a huge smash. Unfortunately, only six episodes could be produced, because, you know.
It will contain all the news on every sphere of human interest, and the news organized. There will be articles on politics, books, sport, scandal, science, society, and no article will be longer than 200 words … [It would] serve the illiterate upper classes, the busy business man, the tired debutante, to prepare them at least once a week for table conversation.

After the overwhelming popularity of the first annual Foursquare Day (4/16/2010), we realized there was demand for getting a bunch of you all together in one place. And then we were asked to be a launch partner for the new Meetup everywhere, which helps people who want to have foursquare meetups self-organize, anywhere in the world!
It’s simple: go to the foursquare Meetup everywhere page, and let others in your area know you’re interested, and then start discussing where to have your meetup. We’ve selected June 16 (get it? 4 squared=16) as the first date for the meetups to happen all over the globe, and from there you can figure out how often your group wants to get together (twice a month? once a month?). You can meet other foursquare users, and maybe even get a swarm badge!
Find a foursquare meetup in your town to connect with other foursquare users!
knowing is half the battle.
