Nerds!

We* remade you our developer website. The new site is not only prettier, but cleaner and easier to navigate. We also beefed up a lot of our explanations of best practices / platform policies which I know all of you will appreciate.

Almost forgot! In the ramp up to launching the site, we silently launched a new endpoint but didn't tell anyone.

https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/similar.html

The endpoint returns a list of venues that are "similar" to the specified venue, based on check-in overlap. Use it to build that Pandora-meets-foursquare mashup you've always dreaaaaammed about (or do something else amazing! no pressure).
