Foursquare’s new Swarm app makes it easy to connect with nearby friends

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Social Networking, New Apps, Free Apps,

Foursquare has taken the first step in bifurcating its service with the release of Swarm, an app that allows you to easily connect with the friends around you. The company decided to remove the feature that allows you to see which friends are checked in where from the core Foursquare app experience, moving that to the new Swarm app.

Within Swarm is a new feature that allows you to make plans with friends. You can see the events and ideas being shared by those you know - no invitations, just a list of your friends offering up various ideas of things to do, that you can join or not.

You can grab Swarm right now on the App Store and Google Play.
