With a few more teams having played, checkin patterns may be emerging. Only one game hasn’t gotten a swarm badge. The game involved an Asian team and a less popular European team. English language speaking countries doesn’t seem to be a factor for checkins at this point as the Nigeria vs. Argentina game was second.  I’ve also tacked on Gowalla data to the end of this post as there isn’t much there to really supply another post: People are just not using it at any volume similar to that of Foursquare.

Onwards with the data set…
