I’m at Pivavarov (Astana). http://4sq.com/aukaNG
Hmm, I was going to embed a Google Maps thing here, but foursqaure have disabled some Google features, and I’m too lazy to go and view the source code.
For now, it looks as though if you see a 4sq.com link, you’ll need to visit it yourself to see more information on the venue I’ve just checked into, sorry.

    what r u talkin about??

    @Zhanna – Did you really send that at 5am?!? And a week late? Only been to Cinzano once a year ago, but it seemed OK.@Keith, if your msg is to Zhanna, she is in Astana, the same as me, and they are two different places to eat/drink.If to me, Google Maps is a service that lets you display street maps or satellite images of anywhere you like.Embedding is when you take some media, and put it on your own site.Source code is the HTML/XHTML/whatever that is behind the sites we see, the instructions to the server on what to render.Foursquare is a bit like a location aware (GPS based) twitter application, where you can check into locations to announce your arrival, and see who else is around.The Google Maps area on the foursquare page you see when you click on one of their links isn't like normal Google Maps, where you can easily embed the same map into your own site, rather than relying on people to visit foursquare.com, as that feature is disabled.I realise 75% of the above will come across as obvious and patronising, but I wasn't sure which part you were confused by 🙂
