Actually, foursquare makes more sense vs. Yelp, since the reviews there are *supposed* to be genuine, i.e. not influenced by freebies, not that yours was, just don't think Yelp is going in the right direction by adding checkins. @Ari: Agreed.

I saw a lot of potential for Foursquare at Oracle OpenWorld last September (http://theappslab.com/2009/10/21/i-dont-care-what-you-say-foursquare-rules/). By checking in to a venue, you can see who else is already there, and your checkin is announced to your friends, less work than tweeting and scanning tweets. Foursquare is still very small, only 300,000 users or so, and like Twitter, many aren't very active. As with Twitter, the mass of data may eventually become Foursquare's goldmine, producing hyper-local data for local merchants.
