It's never been easier to stalk, ahem follow, your friends on Foursquare. The social network announced a new feature today called "Always On."
This feature lets users get all check-in notifications from their specified friends at all times, no matter where they are. To use the feature, members simply need to go to their friends' profiles on the site and toggle the "Always On" button from the drop down menu.
According to Foursquare, this feature will help people know the necessary goings-on with friends without having to text or call them. It also lets armchair travelers vicariously hop around the globe with their more adventurous friends.
Here's more from a Foursquare blog post about the feature:
Have friends or family that live in another city, state, or country? Now you can choose to receive notifications when they check in, even if they're not nearby or you have all check-in notifications turned off. Is your spouse traveling for work? See when he or she arrives at the airport safely. Friends visiting Iceland for a week? Easily keep up with their glacier-climbing, fermented-shark eating adventures.
