I imagine this will be covered in detail in the upcoming new User Manual, but without actually knowing how these services are used and how Waze behaves with them I'm really hesitant to hook them up and start accidentally posting stuff all over the net.

Can someone who's written the software (or someone who's used it) give a brief rundown of what happens when you connect and how you'd use the features? Screenshots would be great, but even a few sentences would be better than nothing.

When you hook up 4sq, you can check into places directly from Waze.

When you hook up facebook, your friends who also use Waze and have enabled integration will appear in your friends list in the app. You can see who is using Waze now and can chat with them via private message wherever they are. You also have options to share destination with them to meet up.

Twitter integration and Facebook integration can also (optionally) post destination, ETA details, post your traffic hazard/police/accident reporting. These are all options. I have them all set to off.

If you don't like how it looks or feels or it doesn't fit your use of Waze (at this time!) you can log out of each at any time to "break" the integration.
