It appears that we’re all getting a bit fierce on Foursquare. Businesses are promoting through it, and more and more people are joining the race to become Mayor of their favorite spots.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Foursquare, it is a location-based social network that allows users to check in and earn points to unlock badges and promotions.

Just for fun, we created a shirt that would tickle the fancies of social media mavens and fashionistas alike. Check out a our fresh new “Bow to Your Mayor T-Shirt!”

Get it in light blue or grey!
