Super interesting to see Foursquare expand its app ecosystem over the past few years. They're sitting on a ton of a useful, proprietary data that can be used interesting ways (see this article on how Foursquare predicted Chipotle's sales based on foot traffic).
@dens - why not build Marsbot functionality into the OG Foursquare app or Swarm?
@oliverwaters@marissachacko@cdohertyk@rrhoover@dens The use of SMS was hotly debated here at Foursquare. I find SMS on the iPhone much more straightforward than push notifications, but we all have busy Messages App, so we designed something that fits in really well in terms of how often it messages you. We'll be listening closely over the coming weeks to see how this aspect of Marsbot is received.
@roryoo Each recommendations comes with a link to the Foursquare page. You'll also be able to type "MORE" or "MORE DETAILS" and Marsbot will give you information on when it's open, the address, what people like there, etc. In the future, maybe we can support more questions.
@maxsklar I was thinking more like Foursquare for Slack where the user would manually mention their location in the conversation. E.g “Mezcal cocktails in East Village”
@snk I find Swarm and Foursquare to be two of the most useful apps I have installed. If you don't like Foursquare, I'm not sure why Marsbot would be any more useful.... it's just a different interface.
Plain text back and forth yet still iPhone only 😖 Was hoping part of the bot revolution would reduce the barriers to developing cross- platform first apps. Much less to consider when it comes to different design language, form factors, device specs, etc... but alas here we are...
