Help Des Moines win a Foursquare badge

Foursquare announced this week that it would create a foursquare badge for the three cities with the most amazing lists on foursquare. Judging will be based on quality of list, as well as how many followers the list gets and how many people mention it on Twitter.

Challenge accepted.

Our Social Media Strategies class brainstormed, crowdsourced and created a list of things you’ve gotta do in Des Moines. Here’s the list!

Now we need your help. Follow the list on foursquare and share it with your friends on social media. If you share on Twitter, use the hashtags #visitUS and #4sq so the foursquare folks see it. You can use this pre-written tweet:

Or just click this button to send a tweet (you can review the tweet before it’s sent):
