Will we soon see #foursquare harmonized? Travel sites have a much better track record with the Net Nanny… that is, unless you get un-harmonious with them. (How — that we don’t know.)

Anyway, #foursquare Day Beijing made it big. One of the nation’s most libre papers, the Southern Metropolitan Weekly (《南都周刊》), did its bit in letting the world — at least the Chinese-language world — know all about foursquare Day. In addition to letting your blogger claim a full page of the paper’s territory, the paper, more importantly, gave more airtime to @frankyu, mayor of the Sanlitun Apple Store, as well as other folks, including Joel Danielson of Illuminant.

(Yep — the paper also revealed that @frankyu is mayor because he checks in every single day. In fact, Frank just checked in about an hour before this post was pushed out. Ah, Frank, why don’t you just write the Great Leader Steve Jobs and — own the Store for good?)

The paper also interviewed the folks behind Fubar, where the party moved after 50+ folks checked in at the city’s Mac temple. Fubar gets its biz done through word of mouth, and — true to the #foursquare spirit — offers the mayor (currently no-one but @BeijingBoyce) happy hour prices all day.

PS: The paper got David Feng’s nationality wrong — he’s a Swiss, not a Singaporean. Beijing’s Subway Goddess, @sioksiok, by the way, is Singaporean…

PS 2: The guy you see with an index finger sticking out is pointing at the swarm by the Apple Store. We should have pointed that out earlier…
