Thing #44

Well this little assignment is quite interesting.... I have gone ahead and done all the little details of Thing #44 and it seems fun, but well it seems like a game on Facebook.   I mean don't get me wrong, I like it, it is creative, it is a game, it's fun, but it's not really all that useful.  Well, okay I take that back!  It is Useful, it is useful for businesses if they use it for promotion, the benefits of checking into things so often and deals you can post, but personally I don't think I'll be using it to much.  I work out quite a bit and I guess becoming the Mayor of the local YMCA could be impressive and a little fun to brag about though.
Anyway, this little game does not freak me out because yeah it's fun to see where all your friends have been, seeing them become a mayor of something a little off the wall, and checking out some new deals at a new coffee shop that opens in my town.
Our Library was not already listed, but our college was, which I am part of an academic college so depending on how you look at it, you could go either way on whether it was listed or not.  I did create a listing specifically for the library though, and under the campus listing we do have a mayor.
I also went ahead and checked out what some of the local listings were for businesses in our area, and I definetly was surprised to see how many were already listed.  Definetly something fun for anyone to checkout though.  If you are interested you can click HERE to check it out.
