Next up for the Foursquare app, moving gamification to tips in categories. Soon you'll be able to be recognized as an expert in a category based on the number of tips that you submit. The Pando post has the feature similar to Klout or LinkedIn. To me, it sounds a lot like a knock-off of Yelp's "Elite" reviewers.
As I see it, here's the real problem with this whole thing. Gamification on entering tips presumes a requisite user experience -- if I don't ever open the app, I'm probably not going to enter tips. And since there is no check-ins any more, I haven't had any reason to open the app.
The reducto absurdum of all location experience...
