I think it's a great move. Maybe on a similar note, one of the reasons I really like and find more use out of Foursquare is the way their rating system works compared to the five-star Yelp rating system. For example, in Yelp I found that all "good" restaurants are in the above 4-star rating, and that's all the information I can get out of that rating. With Foursquare, they have turned the upvote/downvote/neutral rating into a number between 1-10 that tells me more. Above average is 7+, something unique about the place 8+, truly exceptional 9+. It just seems to me it's a simpler way to rate something by a user, and at the same time classify it more adequately.
