Foursquare Push Notifications Get ‘Proactive’

New York-based mobile social network Foursquare has announced an update to its app that will allow users to receive push notifications without requiring them to check in at a location, TechCrunch reported on August 29.

Foursquare’s app will now deliver push notifications, be it tips from other users or merchant promotions, whenever users who have opted in to the program walk into a new store.
