2011 Cricket World Cup: Foursquare Checkins to date (26-Feb-11)
Back during the men’s soccer World Cup, I gathered data about the total checkins to the event on Foursquare. This ended up as a chapter in my dissertation, titled “Socceroo fans at the World Cup: Foursquare and Gowalla Checkins“.
I decided to get similar data for the 2011 Cricket World Cup. I don’t know how often I’ll update this. (I’m sadly not as reliable as I could be and I worry about too much heavy data dumping.) This post has the data presented in three ways: Raw data, average checkins by location by country, ranking of total checkins by team. This data is current February 26, 2011 and is an update of the post found here.
