Hey everyone,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an entry here. I’ve been really trying hard to re-build the current site and make it more engaging the user. Based on the news story today about Foursquare adding a feature to let you know how far off you are from obtaining mayorship - I felt it was important add a response to this new story.

Here at WWIBM - we are NOT a investor sponsored company nor have 10 to 100 developers working on this product. It’s just me - Greg Avola - and I built this product for myself and the community. I thought it would a great way to engage the users of the foursquare to plan your attack on getting the mayorships you want.

Now that foursquare has released their own version of this feature - everyone is saying what will happen to WWIBM? The short answer - nothing. We are not a competitor to foursquare. We just enhance the experience of foursquare to users. That is what the site is designed and developed to do and we will continue to do that as long as the users enjoy it.

Coming in September - we will have a brand new site with new feature including the ability to vote on public shares, better sharing options, and faster response time. Foursquare has also indicated to us that they are going to allow this new data to be sourced by the API which means we can do more stuff about this - including sorting by number of times it will take you to be mayor and a lot more.

Thanks again for your support and we can’t wait to show you what’s new!
