Foursquare released an update to its iPhone app Monday and, writes Marshall Kirkpatrick, also rolled out an interesting “add to my Foursquare” button that can be placed on any website:

“If you own a business or publish a web page about any real-world location, this very simple button will allow visitors to your website to add going to your location as a ‘to-do’ item and receive a push-notification to their phones whenever they check-in anywhere nearby. This small button could deliver a substantial part of the promise of Foursquare — tying together our discoveries online with our experiences offline.”
