Foursquare: I've spent far too much time thinking... →
I’m intrigued to learn what features FourSquare has in its pipeline. As it stands now, I can easily imagine FourSquare replacing Yelp — the way Yelp replaced CitySearch — to be the go-to source for location-specific information.

Your Literature Fix

Video: Goodbye, Sticky Notes; Hello, Reqall

Now, the service seems great for folks who busily juggle a work/social/family schedule (my life simply is either not that complicated or I have a very good memory).
