No Check In Required: Foursquare Starts Rolling Out Proactive' Push Recommendations On Android
Foursquare has been defining its app beyond the "check in" for a while now, with the addition of things like more fleshed-out personal profiles, more detailed recommendations, and the like. And today, the company is starting a gradual roll out of a new version of the Foursquare app for Android that marks its biggest move into a "post-check-in" experience yet: An app that will ping phones with personalized recommendations based on a user's targeted physical location, without needing them to check in at all.With the new Foursquare, when you walk into a cafe you've never visited before, it may buzz your phone to let you know that people who visit there rave about the breakfast burritos. In a bar, you might be pinged with a tip that you don't need to put quarters in the pinball machine to use it, because it's broken (very sneaky.)Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/YUsVOXDYXig/
