If you go to Foursquare.com and click on the “history” tab, you can now see a timeline of all the places you’ve checked in as well as your friends who checked in along with you, stretching back to December. For me, I apparently have a penchant for coffee, pizza and Microsoft buildings (I work at msnbc.com on the Redmond campus), and my wife checked in with me about a quarter of the time. (Hmm, you could imagine some relationship analysis springing out of this new feature. But I digress.)

Foursquare says it plans to make this data available in the API, but still only in the context of friends, to preserve the inevitable privacy concerns. By the way, Foursquare plans to roll out a new app version at SXSW, where I’m sure we’ll see lots of activity on the location-awareness and local content front.
