Go Foursquare, go! Happy to answer any Q's about what's possible with our tools & technology!
@dens Maybe a bit off topic but as iOS pushes focus on AR to our phones, what are your initiatives in this technology?
@ohitsmerenz We doing a bit of experimenting internally, but near term focus is to help other devs make better AR experiences w/ our tech. For example, for AR experiences that don't take place on a conference room table or while standing int the middle of the street, it's prob helpful for devs to know (a) what is the name of the place this phone is inside right now?, (b) what is the category of this place? (bakery, butcher shop, bowling alley, etc), (c) has this phone ever been to this place before?, (d) what are the most interesting tips/keywords/tastes associated wth with this place? These are all things best handle by the Pilgrim SDK and the Foursquare API.
@dens Thank you for this! We are implementing this within our application already. It's fantastic. Quick question though, is there a way to check rate limits within the dev account?

@adamdepasqua looks like you can check rate limits in the API response: https://developer.foursquare.com...
We tried multiple options and Foursquare was our best option. Plus, if you check their site, there are some very big names who have recently signed up to utilize their technology. We felt good being within that company. :)
Pros:Lots of features
Cons:Little to no dashboard to give you information on API stats.
@dens I don't have quite the long wish list, but a more front and center overview of API requests/calls, errors, etc. It would also be pretty amazing if verified developers automatically became Super Users so we can easily update and improve place listings.
