Agree that the metrics are key to answering the question and apart from the simple tally of apps I don't yet have them. Ideally I think you'd want to look at these:<br>1. Impact, if any, of individual and aggregate apps on Foursquare's viral coefficient.<br>2. New sign-up referrals from the apps<br>3. Dup/Undup'd users across the platforms<br>4. Check-ins and other engagement metrics from the apps (for example, assisted serendipity is all about email)<br>5. Media impressions from app coverage (i know, sounds squishy but it all helps)<br>Any others? I'll ping Foursquare to see what of this they're tracking/willing to share and if possible update the post. <br><br>I honestly don't know whether it has been a major cause or not - until we see some data on it and alternative causes (more appealing badging/mayor nomenclature? the fred wilson promo value? people don't like orange?) I think everything should be considered. Thanks for the comment! Agree that the metrics are key to answering the question and apart from the simple tally of apps I don't yet have them.

I honestly don't know whether it has been a major cause or not – until we see some data on it and alternative causes (more appealing badging/mayor nomenclature? the fred wilson promo value? people don't like orange?) I think everything should be considered.
