Answer: Well you buy something from the company and it usually comes with a free sticker. Why would a company spend their money to ship a sticker to you? For the advertising? Uh they don't need you to advertise for them.

2. Question about Facebook and Foursquare?
I downloaded Foursquare on Monday to my Blackberry. I have no problems checking-in with Foursquare, but when I check the "send to Facebook" box, it doesn't show up on Facebook. I have friends with many different types of phones and they have no problems. How can I get my check-ins to show on Facebook? Is there some type of Facebook setting I have to enable? I've enabled Foursquare on my phone. Thanks.
Answer: You need to install Facebook as well. Duh.

4. Which is more popular, Gowalla or Foursquare?
I think it seems like fun, but don't really want to mess with both of them. Which one is more popular, and are there any significant differences between the two?
Answer: I have never heard of Gowalla, but Foursquare was very popular with my peeps in middle school.

5. Is over-the-top enjambment sometimes necessary to make a point (humorously)?
The Sentence of Sarah Palin It all starts out in such simplicity, But then it takes a turn, another one, And then so many more the mystery Is where we are; it’s like a gauntlet run Through endless tunneled words and cul-de-sacs Of phrasal adjectives and particles, And baseless clauses; yea, there is no lack Of convoluted syntax, articles, Or sadly, misappropriated grammar That rambles, though it’s aimed foursquare between Your eyes, a poorly crafted verbal hammer That claws its way to death without a peen, A thing that’s empty although fully crammed, And what is more, it can’t be diagrammed. That's okay, I don't drink Tea... Actually, the point is the long, disorganized ramble her sentences embody; note that the poem is similarly organized and consequently self-referential. The effect is, for the astute reader, one of parody, so climb down from your soapbox folks and appreciate the fact that good writing and speaking are things we should all strive for, regardless of political orientation. You may still find the "Slate" e-zine expose on this matter, now a few years old but sadly just as relevant. Actually MTR, I don't think this needs to be acclaimed; I wrote it in five minutes at a dinner party in March on a bet. The thirty attending didn't seem so defensive and petulant, but then we've all accomplished something. Have a lovely day. My point is that you didn't get the point. Get it now? Benny, I like that poem!
Answer: Considering that "good writing and speaking are things we should all strive for, regardless of political orientation", here's my richly enjambed but hopefully not too distracting offering: THE EMPTY STREET BELOW (Kinzie Exercise) -ybp To a hidden, taut, contracted corner, The empty street below clambers and curves Quite gradually, it tramples by, now swerves Before my house, yet for a while, defers. It did defer from that dim under-shade, I did look intently at its voyage - Quite sluggish, like a gloomy pilgrimage But life came back to it, it did not fade Nor did it bore me stiff, and I did find Its light, the one that peeped from round the bend, The one it sought for counsel or to mend Its faults as most of them are seekers blind, Or perhaps yet again, for mere relief As howling storms - those chill and twisting streams Did for a laugh that sounded like a scream Embrace this frightened region, gave it grief. The gale’s long gone and left this frugal street Much as it found it – austere and half lit. The minute plants and stones that line and sit Have stooped all low; all seemingly to greet Or hide their indignation. They much look Like a horde of high-hat men protesting My vast absurdity. I laugh thinking that monarchs feel this way as in the books. And perchance too how their inferiors feel. Yet I’m inclined until it re-appears – Those faded footsteps, that at dawn draw near, Of a peculiar gait nearly surreal, Of times gone by, yet all the time unfazed And slow and dawdling like he weren’t among Us faceless faces, and did not belong. I keenly for his profile bleak did gaze, For him to trample by, marching to mock eternity, until this bearded man In rags, unfeatured by the half-shown sun, Who bore upon his back an arduous sack Of kindles, emerged, urging me to hack And verify my charts in haste, if I Have indeed, by a wicked witch’s eye, To vanished ages, been transported back.

6. How does FourSquare work for online-based companies which don't have a location where users can visit?
I don't really know FourSquare that well, and I'm not entirely sure if the company I work with will be able to use this site. The company is more or less online, and having the user come to our office location obviously wouldn't be much of a benefit for our company. Does FourSquare work for online websites? Ex promotion: Visit www.websitex.com and receive free shipping on your next order. Would something like this work? Or is it purely physical location based? Any information is appreciated! Thanks
Answer: It is my understanding that FourSquare all but requires a physical location.
