    • giant gauge a la "make some noise"
    • a puzzle where the pieces are removed as people check in
    • a leaderboard of hometown countries for people checking in

  • Visualization of check-ins for all managed venues (which could then be auth'd by Times Square businesses, world landmarks, who knows!)
