Foursquare makeover is here

We reported two days ago that Foursquare would get a major update next week. However, it seems the location service released its update ahead of schedule and the new and improved app is here. As previously teased, the app places its biggest update in the "Explore" section. Now when you launch Foursquare and you choose to use the Explore feature to search for places around you, the feature will not only take into account your location and your friends' activity, but also the time of the day and the weather. So for instance, if you're searching for something to do that's cheap while it's raining outside, the Explore function will more likely send you to a free museum rather than a park to sit outside. Alternatively, if you're opening up the app on Sunday morning, it will recommend places for brunch more than dinner.
