Google Places just announced a new feature that lets you import the places you’ve checked-in to on Foursquare into Google to rate and review. It’s as simple as finding the feed from your Foursquare profile, copying its link and pasting it into the search box in Places. It’s really easy!
Places is fast becoming one of Google’s most social new services and to be honest, I think I like it better than Foursquare’s celebrated new recommendations feature – at least as that feature is implemented right now. Regardless of which you prefer, as Google’s announcement of the new feature says in its title “Better access to your content is, well, better.” Wouldn’t it be nice if all the related services we used made it this easy to port data around from one to another so that each could make its unique value add to the common data that is the foundation of our online lives? It sure would.
