Foursquare Adds Bios To Profile Pages, Evolving As A More Self-Contained Social Network

Foursquare today rolled out the ability for users to add short personal "bios" to their profile pages on the site. These bios are limited to 160 characters or less, and can be imported directly from a user's Twitter account or written from scratch. It's another small step in Foursquare's progression from a fun app that plugs into sites such as Facebook and Twitter to a more self-contained, standalone social network in its own right. Since the company secured $50 million in funding at a $600 million valuation last summer, Foursquare has been steadily adding new features such as restaurant recommendations and passive location detection aimed at fleshing out the app's user experience and increasing its stickiness.
