This is really all about Foursquare users improving the base map where they find for instance streets, street name, buildings, etc. off. This "slide" into OpenStreetMap from Foursquare ideally functions as a gateway drug to hook folks on mapping. The target audience is very interesting: Foursquare Superusers are already very engaged with an online data platform and have a keen sense of creating order (that's their role) - they're almost mappers :-)
