The point of this post is simple: to find out the last time you took a photo without someone saying the word ‘Facebook’ within a few seconds of it being taken.

If you didn’t see today, the first ever Foursquare check-in happened from space! An astronaut named Douglas Wheelock used Foursquare to check-in to the International Space Station.
