"Foursquare sent a tweet on Monday announcing that users who send their check-ins to Facebook will now be able to see them on their Facebook Timeline maps.\nUntil now, Facebook could only see check-ins done through Facebook or Instagram on their Facebook Timeline maps. Going forward, they'll be able to see Foursquare check-ins as well, meaning all the restaurants and businesses you frequent will be added as pins to the map on your Facebook page.\nCheck-ins made in the past have automatically been updated to the map.\n\n\n\nGood news, Facebookers! The foursquare check-ins you share to Facebook will now be sitting pretty on your Timeline Map. bit.ly/JYukBz\u2014 foursquare (@foursquare) May 14, 2012\n\n\n\nThe news has been well-received so far. Many people took to social-networking sites to cheer on the announcement with comments such as \"finally!\" though some expressed annoyance that the feature hadn't been available earlier: \"the way it should've been from the start.\"\n\nSEE ALSO: Behind the Scenes at 9 Hot Tech Startups [PICS]\nFoursquare, which boasts more than 20 million users, has been working on a variety of new features, such as launching a redesigned app in July that allows merchants to buy placement for their promotions. Although the service allows businesses to promote specials on their venue pages, a spokesperson told Mashable that it will offer promoted placement of deals within the app itself and other premium features.\nAre you glad to see your Foursquare check-ins on your Facebook Timeline map?
