When Foursquare split into Foursquare and Swarm, it felt like the company might have lost sight of that vision.

|
|

In addition, iOS 10 just came out, so we launched a new version of the Foursquare city guide app, which is, coincidentally, Foursquare 18003.
|
|
Foursquare originally launched Swarm as a social utility app that would accompany the new Foursquare, which focused on recommendations as a true Yelp competitor.
|
|
For example, Foursquare works with Beeswax — Foursquare is becoming more of an advertising business, offering its location data to help advertisers with targeting and attribution.
|
|
That started with the unbundling of the legacy Foursquare app into Foursquare (a Yelp competitor centered around recommendations) and Swarm (a social location check-in app).
|
|
Now, with Attribution Powered by Foursquare, the company is making its data available to advertisers even if they don't run campaigns in the Foursquare or Swarm apps.

Foursquare customers include Tinder, AccuWeather, Spotify, Hilton and iHeartMedia, and that doesn't include the long list of brands — Uber, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and Twitter — whose platforms are powered by Foursquare location.
|
|
Launched in 2009, the company has since pivoted into two standalone applications – Foursquare, a city guide and discovery app, and Swarm, the check-in service that initially made Foursquare so popular.
|
|
The point of Foursquare was not to make it a check-in button, the point of Foursquare was to build this engine that can tell you amazing things about the real world.
|
|
And if we're not going to make it with Foursquare — if the Foursquare app isn't that thing — then we will make the technology and the data that powers it for someone else.
|
|
For example, Pinpoint by Foursquare (an ad product) has more than half of the Ad Age 100 as advertisers, and Attribution by Foursquare (a measurement product) has doubled its revenue in 2017.
