I guess my teachings have suited you well. I am not a huge Foursquare advocate and when I look at the designs, I have to ask myself one thing: "Would and/or do people spend time on foursquare.com?" I feel, and I could be wrong, most people use Foursquare to check into locations. But would people use all the good information presented here. You are pulling in a lot of different social media outlets and relating the information to help the user. But maybe this isn't for Foursquare. Maybe it is the beginning of the next level to aggregating your social networks. There are so many now, your personal site/blog, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, Linked In, Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube, Dailymile, blah, blah, blah...you get the point. But we don't spend time on any of these sites anymore because we only want the relevant content to "me." People are using Tweetdeck, for example, to aggregate the networks. But "me" doesn't care about the network. "Me" wants only the content relevant to "me". So maybe you are just thinking too BIG for Foursquare. That's all. Good work! Looking good my friend.
