If I'm at a bar with 3 of my friends, I don't want the widget to use all 
its space to display those three friends.

The widget should instead merge those three entries into your own checkin-
row and say something like:

AVA Joe L. and 3 friends
TAR  On The Corner     4 minutes ago
AVA Bob B.
TAR  Little Star       6 minutes ago
AVA Ryan M.
TAR  Brickhouse Cafe   4 minutes ago

instead of

AVA Joe L.
TAR  On The Corner   4 minutes ago
AVA Mike H.
TAR  On The Corner   4 minutes ago
AVA Kevin R.
TAR  On The Corner   4 minutes ago

I'm willing to code a patch to fix this problem, but I had a question. What 
happens 
if it currently displays:

AVA Joe L.
TAR  On The Corner   4 minutes ago
AVA Mike H.
TAR  On The Corner   5 minutes ago
AVA Kevin R.
TAR  On The Corner   6 minutes ago

How do I group them together? Do I display option A:

AVA Joe L. and 3 friends
TAR  On The Corner     4 minutes ago

or option B:

AVA Joe L. and 3 friends
TAR  On The Corner     6 minutes ago

or option C:

AVA Joe L. and 3 friends
TAR  On The Corner     4-6 minutes ago

Additionally if the list is:
AVA Joe L.
TAR  On The Corner   4 minutes ago
AVA Mike H.
TAR  On The Corner   5 minutes ago
AVA Kevin R.
TAR  On The Corner   2 hour ago

Do I list Kevin R, or should I only group together friends that are within say 
60 
minutes of each other?

Use the most recent checkin as the focus of the item, that is "Joe L and 3 
friends" 
and "4 minutes ago" opposed to "Mike H and 3 friends" or "5 minutes ago."

I agree on the 60 minute thing.

Under the same heading of making this display more useful, it should sort by 
city in
the last day before it lists someone out of the area.
On that "w/others" - what's the 4sq limit, it uses logic in the checkin reply, 
and I
think it's more like 90 minutes.

On the topic of making the widget more useful, it would also be handy if it 
didn't display an update at all when a 
friend hides their check-in location. Currently if four friends check into a 
place in hidden mode, you see a list of 
names but no locations, making the widget fairly useless for some time.
