I day or two ago John Mayer infamously quit Twitter.  Today I am doing the same thing not so infamously with Foursquare. 

I was one of the half dozen or so users in Atlanta and made my first check in last August. Since then I have assembled a host of badges and mayorships. But beyond that I am not getting anything out of it.

Perhaps it is just me.   My circle of travel is quite small.  The game is not complex enough to remain interesting.  It's not as fun as it used to be and the newest release of the application actually requires more clicks and time to check in. Personally I am not getting enough reward out of the app for the amount of effort it requires to remain active.

I hope that Dennis and the rest of the Foursquare team will continue to lovingly improve the service in New York City, but for the moment I am taking my ball and going home.  Perhaps I will be back to play again some day.
