What an interesting article on the possible acquisition of foursquare but major players like Facebook, Microsoft and other possible firms. Topping a million users, foursquare is looking quite promising for further growth.
I just signed up for it, which was quite easy. They also have the connect with facebook api feature on signup. I really liked the 1,2,3 steps right after signup, I had to take screen shots of them, check them out by clicking on the numbers. The 1,23 steps are using jQuery, something similar to jQuery Coda Slider.
MG Siegler from TechCrunch mentions that with multiple bidders the price is undoubtedly going up, probably north of $100 million. Once that Foursquare founder Crowley can’t refuse.
I’m just so fascinated how in today’s internet revolution anybody with the right idea and the right resources could accomplish instant entrepreneurship.
Neither Foursquare nor Microsoft have returned requests for a comment. Facebook will only say “we don’t typically comment on rumor or speculation.”
