We look up to startups that have created fun, engaging and useful communities on the web. It inspires us a great deal, especially if there’s an Indian co-founder in the mix! So, when popular location based social networking app Foursquare had their informal international community meet - Foursquare Day, Wooplr hopped in to make it more special.

In fact there couldn’t have been a better association as Wooplr helps complete the foursquare experience. For e.g., once a Foursquare user ‘checks in’ to a place, Wooplr tells him/her what to buy or order there based on genuine recommendations from their friends and the community.

Close to 45 foursquare users turned up at Blimey in Bangalore and over a 100 users showed up at Salt Water Cafe in Bombay. There were official schwags and Wooplr freebies given away along with some fun activities.

At Bangalore, the night started with a Jameson whiskey tasting session, followed by distribution of the goodie bags by Kotak Mahindra Bank to all the users who checked in to one of their branches in Bangalore.

Post that, Wooplr organised a Foursquare Quiz to find out how well they knew their city. We asked them to mention any 6 micro-breweries in town . Needless to say, Bangaloreans proved why their garden city is the Pub capital of India. We followed it up with asking them to name the famous landmark at #1, MG Road. This question stumped even the old-timers and it was only after several clues that they managed to guess the iconic landmark. The winners got some freshly baked yummy cupcakes from Cupcake Noggins.

Wooplr then moved on to the main activity of the event of the night - The Battle of the Mayors. The mayor of  any eatery or watering hole in the city were eligible to participate and were asked to recommend their favourite food dishes on wooplr.com to win vouchers from Divina.

And also, all the lovely ladies in the house were given vouchers by international hi-street women’s fashion label Avirate.

At Mumbai, Wooplr had organised a similar contest where people had to recommend their favourite dishes from any eatery in town and get the most number of ‘likes’ on Wooplr to win vouchers from Bottle Bar.

Woop!

Note: Foursquare Day is a community meet of foursquare users held on April 16th (16 = four-squared, get the date play?!) every year across cities worldwide.
