Foursquare users top 3 million

Foursquare users now top a reported 3 million and the company’s founder says over 18,000 new members join everyday. This is still tiny if you compare it to the potential 500 million users Facebook’s new Facebook Places tool could have, but at the same time they could be doing Foursquare a favor by bringing the location based service concept to a huge new audience. Foursquare’s other competition, Gowalla,is planning to take advantage of this by allowing users to import their check-ins and other data into the Facebook app.

I am new to the party, having signed up for Foursquare just yesterday. I thought it might be a fun and useful tool to have for my upcoming vacation. Do you use one of these services? Why or why not?
