How does Foursquare tags/maps initial venues?
-
I'm from Costa Rica and I'm amazed on how much venues are on foursquare and i'm wondering how did they map the initial venues for a new country/city/etc? I know users can add venues but i'm guessing (could be wrong) that they have a source/way to add them initially. Thanks!

Answer:
One of the coolest things about Foursquare's venue database is the fact that the vast majority of the venues and the data associated with them are in fact created by users right through the app. This is one of the reasons why, for new locations, Foursquare will often beat places like yelp for having at least a basic listing to check into / discover with explore.
