Foursquare 3.0 at SXSW2011

Two years ago, Foursquare debuted at South by Southwest.  And this year, they will release version 3.0 of their app for iPhone & Android again in the streets of Austin. They will most likely use the Mashable interview with Dennis Crowley as the vehicle for announcing it.  Next week will be a fun week for Foursquare.

In addition to the 3.0 App, Foursquare will be announcing a partnership with American Express and a new Amex App called Social Currency which runs over top of Foursquare's check-in engine.  

Of course, it wouldn't be SXSW without a plethora of Limited edition badges and this year Foursquare is planning to release 18 of them!  So far, no details have been released about the badges.  If you're going to be in Austin, and you like collecting Foursquare badges, check out http://bit.ly/gR9GdH/ for information on what it takes to get them.   

There's also a party on Saturday, a top-secret concert on Monday, and a real game of foursquare with Foursquare on the Pepsi Max lot.

More info to come.
