Email Blasts
I received the below email from foursquare earlier in the day. I think this is a great example of taking a message and personalizing it (to a point) for the recipient.
Hey there -
Thanks for using foursquare! We’ve seen that you’ve either been checking-in a lot (woo!) or adding lots of new venues (thx!) so we’re upgrading you to “Superuser” status!
What does this mean? Well for now, you gain the ability to edit our venue database (fixing incorrect addresses, adding Twitter accounts or marking places as “closed”, suggesting duplicate venues). In the future (sooon), you’ll also get access to the new “superuser tools” we’re building (e.g. merge venues, etc)… and someday (ah, someday) a crack at the “make your own badges” tools we’ve been talking about foooorrrrreeeever.
Anyway, for now, you’ll see that when you visit venue pages, you’ll see a little pencil icon for editing venues (address, crossstreet, etc) as well as marking places as “closed”. Small steps, but we’re getting there! :)

So that’s it for now - thanks for using foursquare! And thanks in advance for any fixin’-up you may do!
-Team foursquare
