Ramy started following the problem "Wrong address format in entries from Wcities" in foursquare.

Ramy shared an idea in foursquare on November 27, 2009 03:09:

Most visited venues ever

I'd love to see some sort of "Top 100 venues" where the most visited venues ever on foursquare are listed; both by city and worldwide.

I think this could be super interesting, notably for tourists who would like to know which are the most amazing places to visit in a particular city (not the best example but hey...).

Please comment and let's share ideas around this!

Ramy started following the idea "Add Venue "Type" (cool badge possibilities)" in foursquare.

Ramy replied on November 25, 2009 18:02 to the problem "Please use Int'l phone numbers format" in foursquare:

This is also true for Paris (France). Phone number format there is ## ## ## ## ##, not (###) ###-####.

I hope they will correct this soon.

This problem is now SOLVED, folks! Hooray! *dance of joy*

Check out the new foursquare style guide -- no need for suffixes anymore, just name your place "Starbucks" instead of "Starbucks - Milton & Ste-Catherine", for example. Same for Apple Stores, etc.

Merge to venues please

Two venues for the same location (a University).

Please merge UQAM : http://foursquare.com/venue/127174 (NOT CORRECT)

Into this one : http://foursquare.com/venue/181667 (THIS IS THE CORRECT NAME!)

Thanks! :)

IT'S HERE :D

Ramy replied on October 28, 2009 02:30 to the idea "Potential Data Partnership" in Gowalla:

Yep. We can do that by ourselves. Plus creating spots is a big part of the fun on Gowalla...

So f*ck off. :)

Misspelled spot names (again!)

I identified a few (actually, almost 100% of all the venues in Montréal so far) venues that are misspelled. Can you guys correct those, please?

Next to the link is the exact name that the venue should have (please respect the case & accents, I made an effort to make everything p-e-r-f-e-c-t)! :-)

http://gowalla.com/spots/64447 -> Bureau en Gros

Ouf. I'm exhausted. Have fun!

(Am I not amazing?)

PS. Question: what do we do with spots that have both a French and an English name? Is there some sort of alias system on Gowalla? Would be interesting. Many thanks.

A comment on the question "Edit venues?" in Gowalla:

Oh, and some locations have multiple names (aliases) and/or names both in French and in English. What are we supposed to do with those? :/ – Ramy, on October 27, 2009 00:19

Ramy asked a question in Gowalla on October 26, 2009 23:41:

Edit venues?

Hey, is it possible to have some 'poweruser' privileges on Gowalla? I'd like to edit locations in the area of Montréal that are spelled wrong. And a lot of them are :/

Would be much appreciated!

Ramy replied on October 26, 2009 15:41 to the idea "Optionally enter Home & Work locations" in foursquare:

For the "home" part, I'd see that just as maybe a second option to check in that says "I'm back home" or something. A generic option, nothing that you enter your address.

Anyways :P
