But I disagree with you on the city partitions - I don't like how Foursquare treats different cities as different universes. How I get the newbie badge when I check in over Christmas back in Philly. I'm not a newbie, dammit. And I kind of do want to see where my friends are checking in when they're traveling - you know, that whole ambient awareness thing. It recent releases, Foursquare seems to be breaking down some of the partitions between cities - now I can at least see checkins from friends in other cities. I'd like to see them go all the way and make it a single feed. Once they have 50 million users, they can start adding partitions / filters.

Seems like a local market to me, I'm never going to use gowalla in NYC cuz my friends here use foursquare but if I traveled to Austin or another city and make friends who use gowalla, I'll use that! The way I see it: Does Foursquare checkins in Non-NYC cities mean anything to my NYC friends? No. At least not yet Nice comparison!
