Some of you may have received it overnight as an enclosure in your aggregator. In that case, thanks for subscribing. So first what I’d like to do is to explain exactly what this is, and what the <i>Daily Source Code</i> is going to be.”

Caitlin McGarry, TechHive

> Foursquare could use your check-ins to push you notifications about nearby places, like a cocktail bar on the same street as the restaurant you’re dining at. Or the app could deduce that if you check in to spots all around Williamsburg, you probably live or work there and want to see recommendations in the neighborhood. It doesn’t really need to track you all the time.
