Update:

We now have a forums page on Foursquare:

https://foursquare.com/unixlinux

We have plans to build out the following Foursquare capability for forum users:
  • Create a new custom forum user field for 4Q user id
  • Create forum plugin app to check in to Foursquare for logged in forum users, and also update history (posts) and also issue badges (see next steps below)
  • Create badges based on Bit Count, so the more Bits, the more advanced the badge, from Novice to Expert to Guru.....
  • Users get forum badges based on Bits count automatically
  • These badges will also be displayed in user profile

If you have anymore Foursquare "game layer" ideas, please let us know in this thread.
