I got bored a few weeks back and decided to redesign the Foursquare homepage.
Note: The photos are just filler. Would look way better with some custom illustrations.

Godlike. Especially loving the background map too.

Love the subtle texture on the background and the "Get it on your phone" section. The call to action button is a little off to me still. I think its the size of the text. Awesome stuff.

Looks more like Gowalla (the three horizontal features).
Otherwise, nice update...

Loks good. The before & after screenshot shows why UX is so important (re-designing all the elements and their new positioning provides to all visitors a great experience).
Awesome job, Andrew. As usual! :)

Your redesign of the zappos site a while back kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Or I just thought it looked like zappos trapped in MetaLabLand– I didn't think it reflected the zappos brand well.
That said, this looks great! I love psuedo-subtle-metalaby aesthetic. It makes Foursquare look hip, fun & intelligent.

This isn't meant to be a "haters gonna hate" kinda post but I offer up two points:
(1) All I see is 1. Look at your phone. 2. Look at your friends. 3. Then look at your phone again.
(2) Because of the trendy, smooth and sexiness, it feels like foursquare has been Gowalla-ized here - instead of attempting to differentiate... which (for better or worse) there current design does.

I don't really have much to say about the actual design – it's pretty and it looks like it would fit right into MetaLab's portfolio.
The thing that bothers me, however, is the "old and busted" vs "new hotness" you put on the before/after along with the "current site is a bit of a mess, to say the least". Why does it need to be said at all? Let's not forget that design as a profession is selling subjectivity. Every one of us is a designer because we look at things and think "I can make that better." There's an inherent amount of ego required to be a successful designer because you need to be able to believe in your point of view in a very big way. However, the balance to that egotism is professionalism, which unfortunately, I see less and less of these days in our field.
This attitude is almost a prerequisite in this trend of guerilla redesigns that are so popular these days (tho let's not forget that 37signals are the originators of this, minus the attitude).
Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for you and your shop. You guys do great work. I've also met you in person, and I think you're a nice dude. I guess I don't understand what would inspire you to want people to think otherwise – particularly when they're looking at your work.

@Matt Like I said, the photos are just filler. Would require some illustrations or something.
@Jeffrey You're right. I didn't think of it that way, but it's unnecessary. I removed that part from my original comment. The old and busted vs new hotness is just a Men In Black reference, which I'm sure very few people picked up on anyway :-)

Much improved!

Definitely an improvement.

@Andrew - I got the Men in Black reference immediately, so your joke didn't go to waste :P

Map background looks great - is it yours? (If so, please release!)
However, this part of your re-design feels slapdash at best.

I think part of Foursquare's success over Gowalla (or at least as I assume) is down to their 'undesigned-ness'. This is also something which I would say had an impact on Twitter. Gowalla always seems overdesigned in comparison to Foursquare.
In any case, this is beautiful. Nice work!

@Matt: I actually prefer Gowalla over Foursquare because of the design work they've put into it.. I think twitter is turning into a more of a Gowalla service, in terms of design, so it will be interesting to see how well the new Twitter is received once it's completely rolled out and no longer a preview.
I think foursquare could benefit from a redesign like this. Although simple is always nice, the foursquare web interface is starting to feel somewhat dated and I'm just glad that the mobile app(iPhone) has seen some recent GUI improvements.
