Bing Maps Checks In with foursquare

Real-time data from mobile location-based social game foursquare was added to Bing‘s Silverlight-based Map Apps, allowing Bing Maps users to find popular locations and see how many people have checked in and earned badges.

Todd Schwartz of Bing went into more detail on the Bing Blog:
