Combining social and search features, Foursquare added an Explore function that it says turns its Web site into a social search engine. It helps people using the tool to find "interesting things nearby." The company explains that check-ins power Explore, and each time someone checks in it helps to personalize recommendations. There are check boxes that help people searching for stuff discover new places. For example, checking the box for "I haven't been to yet" will help users find new restaurants.
