As long as there's a way to remove it, since I am not a member of
either Facebook or Foursquare. If it can't be removed I oppose its
inclusion - we're getting dangerously close to what Microsoft did with
Internet Explorer in Windows 95.

If we don't have Maps installed, there's a Foursquare provider in GOA that
does nothing out of the box (ditto for the check-in toggle for Facebook, FWIW,
but at least it can also do Photos).
