Mayorama

Mayorama is a foursquare application (currently only) for the iPhone designed to provide you, the user, with more detailed information about the rough-and-tumble world of mayorship seeking. You can use Mayorama to find nearby venues that are ripe for conquering, keep track of your current mayorships, and see your progress towards being crowned each time you check-in. It also does some other useful things like show the foursquare places around you on a map (instead of just a list) and sort those places by venue type (food, nightlife, shopping, etc.).

When you log into foursquare with Mayorama, the application goes through your history and totals up your visits to different venues. When you take a look at nearby venues ("targets", as we like to call them), the application pings a Mayorama server which gets the mayorship details about each one and includes it in the big list it returns to your phone. Between those two things, Mayorama can make you a list of nearby venues that includes how many visits it would take for you to become mayor of each one.
