I don’t use the explore tab when I’m in NYC because I know where I want to go. But whenever I find myself in a new place looking for something in particular, I’ve been using the explore tab in Foursquare. And it works pretty well. And as I checkin more, my friends checkin more, and the places I like to frequent get more checkins, the explore tab will get better and better. This is the power of social metadata at work.
