>>As in, the experience was an 8/10. Foursquare could begin to have a ranking system for all of the >>experiences their ‘players’ have.This could be fun for the game players for comparing experiences with >>friends and getting really solid ranking of venues

this works well but not at scale…. ratings tend to average out and you will be left with a lot of 3-4 star venues.

>>Just like Wikipedia is successful solely because of the millions of people that edit content for free, >>Foursquare will be successful by using their community to curate it’s collected venue data.

again, im biased. after experiencing the human problem first hand, i think a hybrid model is best.

These guys are doing such a good job to bring partnerships to the platform that really make a better experience for users. For example, their recent partnership with the BART in SF. Cool!

Nice feedback from your project. Loved to actually hear from some Foursquare guys if any of these are on their radar as future implementations. I especially like number 3.
