Is this anecdotal or based on data?
- jason_shah 14y agoAccording to Foursquare's co-founder Dennis Crowley, as quoted by TechCrunch, the service saw 5 million checkins per day as of Feb. 2013. But that was the same as per-day checkins as the previous year. Flat growth to me, especially in their space. The rest, and a fairly critical piece of my statement, about checkins moving to Facebook and Path I admit wholeheartedly was anecdotal and speculative. http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/11/foursquares-new-series-d-round-of-41m-helps-it-delay-tricky-questions-about-its-valuation/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/11/foursquares-new-series-d-ro... http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/16/interview-dennis-crowley-of-foursquare-on-social-search-platforms-and-rivals/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/16/interview-dennis-crowley-of...
