Enhancement Idea: Locale Plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Idea for an enhancement: Locale plugin to perform a quick-check 
automatically.

Plugin should allow the user to select the Venue via intent from the 
foursquared app interface.

When called to perform the quick checkin it should also verify the checkin 
venue isn't the last checked in venue to avoid multiple checkins should 
the Locale event fire multiple times.  Checkin should be "silent" and not 
return any checkin dialog summary windows.

As the developer of Locale, I wanted to add that a Foursquare plug-in for 
Locale would be a great.

This fits nicely with the design of Locale and the Foursquare Android client.  
Since only one app, Locale, needs to 
run in the background to determine the phone's location, the efficiency gain is 
analogous to a carpool.  The 
Foursquare client can continue to advertise "no bloat" since Locale is actually 
doing all the location-detection 
work.  The Locale plug-in APIs are documented our the website here: 
http://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer.html

In addition, Locale users have been requesting this feature on the Locale 
feature request website here:

No, that one checks in based on a saved shortcut. Using Locale, it would
automatically check in without the interaction of the user being required.
It would check in based on the GPS/Cellular location of the user (or other
criteria set by the user). Locale is written so that based on certain
conditions, your phone automatically performs actions or changes settings.
Such as on my phone, when I get to church or the library, or other locations
I have set, my phone automatically goes on silent. A foursquare plugin would
allow me to automatically check in at certain places. For example, when I
got home, it would automatically check me in. Or work, church, etc.

Your app looks like a great one-click solution. Locale would give me a 
zero-click solution.

Read further, it's also a locale plugin.

Ok, now I'm officially in love with your app. Purchased, Downloaded, and
installed.

Great! Maybe I should change the order I describe the app's features in the 
description, so people can see right away that it works as a plugin for Locale 
and Tasker.

Also, don't be afraid to rate it 5 stars if you like it! ;)
