I’m intrigued by Foursquare’s expanded Explore feature, which uses its 1.5 billion check-ins (and growing, rapidly) to curate suggested destinations based on where your friends have been and tips they’ve posted. This is what Web 2.0 is all about — filtering information through sources you already trust and, presumably, with whom you have common interests. Chasing badges and mayorships has had so little value, but Explore does. And now there’s more reason to add out-of-town friends, because it can come in handy when traveling. Foursquare is not just a meet-me-here-for-a-beer app anymore.

Shoebox by 1000memories. This looks like a great app for “scanning” old prints with your phone. Seems you can catalog names and add notes. I really want to scan my library of ticket stubs, with notes of who I was with, perhaps a score from a game. I don’t yet know what’s available in terms of sharing such things elsewhere (say, via the web, like “Look at my history of concerts attended!”). As always, I’m really intrigued by the possibilities.
