For many users of Foursquare, the idea of checking into a location has become common practice. Recently, the popular check-in service provided its users the ability to share pictures and comments. This enhancement, which was highly requested, helps to further communicate a location's value. Check out this steak and bean dish I ordered from Mucho Mexico the other night. Pretty cool, huh?
While I can easily leave a picture and comment on Foursquare describing my dining experience, how do others feel about this restaurant? With the help of Bubbalon, it is easy to share my sentiments with others through Foursquare or Twitter.

Final Thoughts
The process to rate Foursquare check-ins is quick and easy. Additionally, the value of knowing people's feelings before I frequent an establishment is awfully helpful. However, for those of us using the Android or Blackberry devices, we don't yet have an app, but know they are coming. Until then, your just gonna have to visit the site via the mobile web.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions or additional requests, let me know in the comment section below.
