Hi, For Foursquare, I am interested in knowing if it has been rolled out everywhere, do they have any idea how much the "edit" button has been pressed, and if it has caused any support burden or other unexpected problems. As a baseline, hopefully adding the "edit" button does not harm...

I assert, that there are CL users that would be motivated for themselves at fixing issues on the map. Check this note out. http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/8602 At the time the OSM did not have the two lakes. The CL user was trying to rent/sell a property that is on a lake, but the lake is not in the map, big problem! Even if they figured out that fixing this on osm.org, also fixes it in CL, the slow tile update cycle means that the fix would in fact not appear back in CL in time for that specific listing. It is currently impossible for somebody to fix issues in the map, and help themselves on CL. Also, many CL notes notes in OSM are from errors in the address look up, which is not even OSM data. They say something like "the wrong map is displayed here". There is nothing we can do with them because we don't know the address that they were searching for and the note is note placed at the location that address should have been at. All we know is some address is wrong/missing inside of the this bounding box. We don't even get a back link to the listing associated with the note. I think CL could do more without compromising the mission of the company.
