Something I thought about earlier that would be nice: automatic geofencing based on my interests. So if I'm on vacation and I mark "burgers" as an interest, I get pinged when I'm close to a popular burger spot. May already exist but didn't take the time to look.

That sounds like an interesting project for an indie app developer. foursquare, highlight, and others have been working on geofencing stuff, so it's not impossible.
Sounds exactly like Oink (built by Milk). It was shut down and the team acquired by Google.
That's completely doable as a app (I'm a professional 3rd party app developer).
Foursquare Radar does pretty much exactly that.
