>Foursquare releases a Shorty badge to attendees of @shortyawards

>

Scott Beale (@laughingsquid) checked in at the Shorty Awards tonight using foursquare. In recognition of his attendance, he received a special badge.

Recently Foursquare released a badge partnering with Bravo TV.

In December 2009 Foursquare released the “Road Warrior” badge for users that check in 3 or more times using Waze.

This is the first time I’ve seen a badge for an event.
