I'm going to post it here because the other post complaining about FourSquare's check-in function (Swarm) dying is saturated. I'm a big check-in user but FourSquare's pivot has been brilliant. You can clearly see the benefits when they partnered with Twitter, with FourSquare being the 'Google of the physical world'. Having a dedicated app for checking in (meaning the people who like to check-in are properly looked after in their own, siloed app) is a lot nicer than before. Back to Yahoo!: Don't think this will be a good acquisition. Look at their previous acquisitions: Tumblr. Nothing much has happened, no major monetisation project. Twitter would be a better company to buy. It also makes logistical sense as well. Combination of Twitter and FourSquare would be an effective combination against Facebook, and also Google Plus and Google Maps.
