"Another day, another big Foursquare development, with Bing announcing that it\u2019s integrating data from the location-based network into its Maps product, with a set of features that will debut later this year.  \nBing Maps is pulling in \u201Cquick tips\u201D data from Foursquare, so as you\u2019re browsing a locale you\u2019ll see reviews from Foursquare users for various venues.  Bing says that you\u2019ll also be able to \u201Csee who has unlocked specific badges, where and who has been crowned mayor of certain locations.\u201D  \nData about who\u2019s currently checked in isn\u2019t included (and wouldn\u2019t make sense unless the user is using the new public \u201Ccelebrity mode\u201D).  The Foursquare application appears to be accessed from the \u201Cmaps apps\u201D area of Bing Maps, so it\u2019s presumably not on by default for everyone.\n\n\n\n\nGoogle doesn\u2019t yet pull Foursquare data into its Maps, though it does pull in reviews from a number of third-party services like Citysearch and Zagat.  We did however recently review Fourwhere, a Foursquare and Google Maps mashup that does much of what Bing is trying to do with its new features.\nWe imagine we\u2019re only at the beginning of seeing Foursquare\u2019s increasingly rich local data integrated in apps big and small around the web.  \n\n\nFor more social media coverage, follow Mashable Social Media on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
