About Foursquare Day
The Foursquare Day story is a story about ideas, community, Tampa Bay, social media, and crazy deadlines. Foursquare Day started as whimsical thought by Nate Bonilla-Warford. An optometrist by training, he has been a dabbler in social media for years. Nate is amused by simple number relationships, like squares and primes and he makes a big deal about Pi Day each year. The thought struck him that since four-squared equals 16, it would be great to check into foursquare on the 4th, 16th of the year.
Although many people were interested and helped immensely, a small group of people made up the core of the Foursquare Day team including, Jessica Barnett, Antony Francis, Amber Osborne, Cate Colgan, Bill Cason, Kim Randall, and Allison Barkley. What started as an idea quickly spun into a global phenomenon with groups in all over the world including London and Prague getting together to get their communities involved and excited.
