So strange that I never replied to you here Kenny. I apologize.
Perhaps I did, but for some reason it didn’t save. Hmmm…

I don’t usually share my check-ins on Twitter or Facebook, but save the annoyance only for my foursquare friends. However, occasionally I may decide to share a check-in with the world.

Are you still enjoying foursquare?

Good point Daniel, thanks.
You can also use
http://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/ to post directly from
Twitter to Facebook when you use #fb.

LinkedIn also can be configured this way using their built in setting.
In that case you use #in.

You can go into settings and uncheck boxes that notify when you've unlocked a badge or become Mayor, etc. I did that because I felt I was spamming my Twitter and Facebook streams too much. I still share my location.

I had to do something similar last year. I update my Twitter status a lot, and it was being sent to my Facebook feed. I got some complaints from genuine friends, and I figured it was worth it to disconnect my Twitter feed from my Facebook feed.

As alway, YMMV.

Thanks. Nobody has complained yet, but I don't always tweet my
location. You can choose not to if you prefer.

I really like foursquare, as I'm sure you could tell during the Predators game last night. However, I keep forgetting to update the darn thing whenever I go somewhere!

I am slightly concerned that my Twitter followers will get annoyed by 4square location announcement spam. Have you run into that problem, Dave?

I'm really enjoying fourseven now more than the rest.

I'm still on the fence though.

Well, like I mentioned, I've been tending to favor Foursquare. But I'm interested in seeing how Yelp shakes out once I give it a try. Do you have a favorite?

Good point. Hmmm…
Which do you prefer Kate?

And now Yelp has a check-in feature too:

I downloaded the app update last night and will be trying it out today. I've been checking in on both Gowalla and Foursquare for the past few weeks, but when I only have time for one, I check in on Foursquare. I like the mayorships, the points, and the whole game feel. I haven't checked in on Brightkite in ages. Did you see Kidd Redd's post about his Foursquare experience with Tasti D-Lite?

And Mashable wrote about that program, too:

Interesting stuff is afoot.
