Guest post by David McKinney

A new app called My Foursquare makes it easy to display your Foursquare information on your Facebook profile, your blog, or your website. You can display your badges, mayorships, last checkin, and last checkin on a Google map.
The Facebook app shows up as a tab on your profile; the Wordpress plugin shows up as a widget on your sidebar; and the javascript embed of code lets you show your stuff wherever you like on any website.
My Foursquare has several customization options that make it easy to display your Foursquare stuff how you like. You can choose which elements you want to show (e.g. show just your badges, or show just your last checkin), and design customization options include variable widget widths, borders, colors and fonts.
The apps use Oauth authentication to connect with the Foursquare API, so that your personal Foursquare login credentials are safe and secure – they are never seen by My Foursquare.
