Is this badge still active, i checked into 5 venues and still haven't gotten it.

I just checked twitter and it shows an unlock from yesterday (6/18/11). Did you make sure that you followed Harvard first. Any 5 venues from their page should unlock this badge. The 5 venues listed above were the 5 i used to unlock the badge.

[Deleted User]

yes i follow and i checked into all above, don't know why i didnt get it

JR1

Not sure then. I will give this a test real quick and see if i can get it to unlock. Give me like 45 min and i will let u know what i find out.

Sory that took a little longer then 45min. I had to play around with it a bit. But I did get it to unlock :D
I have also updated the unlock instructions based on this.

sorry...i am new to this...how do i check in from the page...not through handphone...

JR1

@spartacurse To checkin on a comp use https://foursquare.com/mobile or when you goto a venue link that you want to checkin just add m. infront for foursquare.com/ and it will take you to the mobile version of that venue. For example

on 4sqr the venue link would look like this:
https://foursquare.com/v/harvard-coop/49f621a5f964a520086c1fe3

on 4sqr mobile the venue link looks like this:
https://m.foursquare.com/v/harvard-coop/49f621a5f964a520086c1fe3

Is Yard Bird Badge considered one of the new college badges of which you can only have 1?

MartininBrussels

No, you can earn currently the "older" Stanford, Harvard badges in addition to one new badge (I chose UC Berkeley.) Retired badges include Syracuse, Harvard Business School, Princeton, among others...
