Foursquare and planes, trains and automobiles
I'm currently travelling on a train from London to Norwich to speak at the WebSourceEast web design event tomorrow and a random thought came to me... If I could "checkin" to the train (via @Foursquare) then I could easily get access to 'venue' information which, in this case of a train, would be next stops, estimated time of arrival, where the buffet car is etc - great data. Yes this would mean loads of venues BUT
such venues could be automatically created (and closed) by the train operators systems. Perhaps you iPhoners have funky apps which do this but, my point here is that we can piggyback a lot onto the infrastructure of Foursquare - it aint just for where you are eating :) Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
