When Is Linkedin Integrating with Foursquare?

I was traveling to NYC and CT this past weekend and using Foursquare, Facebook, and Yelp to check-in at various locations. I know I am a bit of an outlier when it comes to location-based apps, but I was wishing that Linkedin was integrated with Foursquare.

I assume there are a fair amount of users like me who separate their professional and personal world between Linkedin and Facebook instead of having all your online connections on Facebook. Currently, when I check in on Foursquare I usually turn-on the Twitter notification and selectively turn-on the Facebook notification. Then I thought it would be nice to not only selectively inform my Facebook friends about my Foursquare check-ins, but also to do the same with my professional contacts on Linkedin.

If Linkedin wants to be the professional alternative to Facebook, I believe they should start providing such alternatives.

CLEANING UP MY FACEBOOK CONTACTS

My initial activity on Facebook lent me to accept some random invite requests or random invites being sent out from my gmail contacts. So I decided to clean my "friends list" a bit and clear out the randoms and professional contacts I would prefer to limit to my Linkedin account (i.e. recruiters, headhunters).

For me there isn't an exact criteria since I do believe Facebook is useful for some professional contacts, and keeping in touch with acquaintances. I've been eye-balling my "friends" directory, thinking about how I know someone (or don't know), and then removing those I would prefer to know through Linkedin or email. I've removed over 40 so far.

Hopefully this will keep my small world a little more manageable.
