"What Google built to drive you to what you want in the online virtual world, Foursquare is building in the offline real world" I'd argue Google themselves are building that. Looking for a NYC Chinese restaurant? Google it. Looking for a spa? Google it. After Google, it's Yelp, with their depth of informative reviews. Foursquare's check-in aspect really hurts their desire to be the "google of offline commerce". I don't care if a restaurant has a billion check-ins. And I don't want to hear 1-line random tips. How's the ambience? How's the food? How's the price? Unless Foursquare starts adding in ways for users to give them more in-depth information, Yelp is vastly superior.
