What does "the past foursquare checkins" mean?
[edit]...a service that would replay the past foursquare checkins in real-time.
What does this mean? I get it matches the app's original name as well as the service it was originally built for, but the current phrasing is ambiguous, implying it to be a length of time. Could someone please rephrase this to be clearer for readers who are unfamiliar with the topic (such as myself)? 2A02:C7C:6C23:EB00:8D7C:7674:E83F:9D54 (talk) 23:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Proposed update: Acquisition news, history, and awards edit
