So, curious what people think about this. Imagine you were running foursquare. Would you block check.in?
I could see an argument for it. If Foursquare blocked them, it would be difficult for them to gain traction. And as the front-runner in the space, Foursquare is arguably hurt more by aggregator services like Check.in, while its competitors are helped by them.
- twalling 16y agoI think they're completely fine with it. Foursquare has been extremely open about how people use their API and this is what their API is for. In the end I don't think they care how people are checking in. They're still gathering useful location information for businesses which is their real value add.
- benatkin 16y agoI think they would get significant backlash if they did, due to their popularity and the use of services like Twitter by their users.
