2011 Cricket World Cup: Foursquare Checkins to date (26-Feb-11)

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 26 February, 2011

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.

Checkins by country could probably be an issue as infrastructure and local foursquare usage in the host country could skew total checkins to make comparing teams difficult. This is total checkins. Some of the Indian venues have multiple listings. I’ve just totaled them, rather than averaged.

Country Total checkins Total people
India 13 10
Bangladesh 2 1
Sri Lanka 1 1

This gives an idea as to what matches people are checking in to by national team.  I don’t feel particularly surprised that the host nations so far mostly lead or account for other teams by total checkins.
