]]> Comment on Russia’s MTS launches first badge with non-English unlock text in partnership with Karo Cinemas by Eugene http://aboutfoursquare.com/russias-mts-launches-first-badge-with-non-english-unlock-text-in-partnership-with-karo-cinemas/#comment-88083 Eugene Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:40:24 +0000 http://aboutfoursquare.com/?p=3457#comment-88083 "MTS subscribers are eligible for buy one, get one free movie tickets on Tuesdays." Those specials was removed by @4sqSupport two days ago with more than 500 spam specials from MTS, because they did not not match Foursquare rules. Cinema specilas was "Send any SMS to 2211 and show the resulting code clerk at the cinema. Get a second ticket free. Only customers of MTS. The cost of SMS is 25 rubles." — not for all Fousquare users, and you must pay money to get a "free" tickey. Other one, Newbie Special, spammed all Saint Petersburg and Moscow explore map was "A month of free internet when you buy an ultra Nokia 700 only at a shop MTS Nokia 700 with a new and fast operating system, Symbian Belle" WTF stupid advertising? Buy a phone to get Newbie special? “MTS subscribers are eligible for buy one, get one free movie tickets on Tuesdays.”

Hopefully this will draw more people to explore Detroit and figure out that it is a pretty nice city and the media over-exaggerates a lot of the bad stuff.

I'm the Geekadelphia.com writer who made it, as well as this list dedicated to geeky spots in Philly, since there is a HUGE geek/tech/creative community there: https://foursquare.com/allieharch/list/geekadelphia-geekiest-places-in-philly-visitus This was really surprising and fun for us to watch, since both lists were curated and promoted by a local blog and not a tourism agency.
