Over the past several months, Foursquare has had a number of impressive stats for a startup. Some of them involved SXSW, some involved overall check-ins numbers. And it seems... #TC #Foursquare Zobacz wpis

TechCrunch TV: Speaking Of… Detroit, Featuring Scott and Jay Adelson Guest post by Cyan Banister...
I've met a lot of engineers and entrepreneurs from Detroit and there's an underlying vibe that resonates from all of them: a specific attitude or work ethic - possibly left over from the automotive industry - that either causes them to try to work harder than their fathers or go against the grain trying to figure out how they can live life to its fullest.

Loopt Hits 4 Million Users Propelled By iOS 4 And Android "Foursquare gets all the hype." It's something I hear just about every day from just about every other location-based startup. And it's true, though I would argue that it's warranted -- and investors seem to agree. But it's also important to keep some perspective. While Foursquare is just shy of 2 million users, other services like MyTown have quickly surpassed that number. Same with Google Latitude, which is at 3 million.
