"Save to Foursquare" Button

On the last day of November 2011, the location focused social media firm Foursquare announced release of several new features to include a "Save to Foursquare" button.  Available either as an existing feature on a partner's website, or as a browser add-in, the Save to Foursquare button allows users to associate websites with locations.  Then, as a Foursquare user approaches one of their recorded locations, an alert is provided and the associated information is displayed.  Here's links to a couple of articles:
