Great move by Foursquare. I wouldn't mind to see more interaction between
Foursquare and OSM. For instance, it's quite easy to put the entrance of
POI's in OSM, which can be handy in the Foursquare app to navigate to that
entrance (or for example the nearby parking lot).

Hi Lester
I think, an initial approach would be, that foursquare would offer a
subset of their data to OSM with the purpose that mappers can
integrate this data into OSM.
So the primary POI will be clean OSM data by definition.
Obviously there could be duplicates which would be an interesting

Hi
I really doubt that foursquare will release their data "for free". See
eg. this blog [1].
But you'll never find out until somebody asks directly...

Hi Valent.
If you are logged in on osm.org, it's possible to mark a note as resolved.
Resolved notes don't vanish afterwards, but get a different icon.
As far as I know, notes vanish after a certain period of time, as you
