Over the past year or so, we've seen a major push by a few of the large Internet companies to move towards SSL encryption ? that is, HTTPS instead of the standard old HTTP. Undoubtedly spurred on by tools like Firesheep, this is slowly but surely making the web more secure. And today Foursquare is the latest to make the move. As they tweeted out this morning, all of Foursquare now defaults to HTTPS. The company tells us that this means not only the main website (which is less important for Foursquare usage), but also the mobile site and most importantly, the clients. "We're moving to HTTPS proactively to increase the security of all Foursquare accounts," PR Manager Erin Gleason says.
