Aaron Parecki has been POSSEing his Foursquare tips since 2019-10-06.

This works in likely a somewhat controversial way. There are multiple ways to syndicate a tip to Foursquare:
- I can reply to one of my checkins, and the text of the reply is added as a tip
- I can reply to a Foursquare venue URL directly
- I can send the text of a checkin itself as a tip

Request in Timeline
If a user sees a recommendation request on Facebook, they can click a button to search for recommendations within the correct geographic area and select the place they would like to recommend. They can also type in some additional information about why they are recommending the place.
