This is exactly what I said they should do in the Quora topic about the future of check-in services: http://www.quora.com/Check-Ins….Our startup Filmaster (http://filmaster.com/mobile), launched at SXSW 2011 in March, was probably the first one to allow people to check-in to particular movie screenings in theaters. Of course as a movie service, it does way more than Foursquare’s new movie check-in feature, like it gives you personalized film recommendations in all cinemas nearby (and soon on TV and Netflix as well). I’m wondering what’s Foursquare’s strategy on cooperating with services like Filmaster now that they are adding more specialized features. Should we still integrate with FSQR so that people who check in on Filmaster can easier become mayors of their favorite cinemas, or should we treat them as competitors now? I’m interested to hear your opinion.
