3. Honest place reviews

When people check-in anywhere they have the option to post a message which can be shared across their social networks. This means people can give a real-time location based update on how the food or service is in a restaurant you may wish to visit that night which could change the whole course of an evening. Arguably people are already doing this using Twitter, but Foursquare’s service is based on locations near you, which is a different way of disseminating similarly useful information.
