I'm wondering if anyone is considering building a new version of what Foursquare used to be. If this were was built and done well and had a point system, mayorships, badges, etc. and allowed me to browse and export my old check-ins, I would use it, and I'm sure you'd get a reasonable initial userbase just off of disgruntled Foursquare users.
It's certainly not a small project. I'm not sure how you get the initial list of locations. I also know Foursquare collects data about wifi networks to pinpoint your location, and that may be hard to replicate. But there's definitely a void here to be filled.
