Your Battle for "Mayor" Just Got a Whole Lot Easier | NBC New York
With a quick search, “Be The Mayor!” reveals how many check-ins it will take to oust the current mayor of any location in your city. The site is easy, but not perfect: You need to authorize your foursquare account each time you pull up the site.Heavy promotion for the site began Tuesday, but it’s been in the works for a while, Rick Webb, one of “Be The Mayor!”s creators, told us via email.
“We soft launched about 4 months ago and have been tweaking it quietly since,” Webb said. “I *think* we were first to launch, though I can’t say definitively. It’s kind of an easy idea, and I suspect we all latched on it around the same time.”
Another article about Be the Mayor, with some quotes from our very own Mr. Richard Webb. PLUS an errant picture of Kim Kardashian smack in the middle of the article. Your guess is as good as mine on that one.
