Foursquare had great usage all over the world. I've traveled widely (more than ninety countries) and all over Latin America and Eastern Europe Foursquare is regularly used. For some reason, it got a lot of hate from the Bay Area tech crowd who felt its heyday passed -- despite the fact that SF airport was always swarming. The pressure to keep on growing and have viral growth and turn into a destination app means that app like Foursquare with less mainstream gamifications sadly don't get the respect they maybe deserve, and are forced to try to go viral, etc. which is not a natural path for every app, and there should be a way to fund and let these apps achieve their natural success. Foursquare location data was great (used by Uber) and it's sad they're alienating the users who provided them this value.
