When Foursquare co-founder and CEO Dennis Crowley talks about recycling data, he isn’t talking about being green.
Crowley is referring to the wealth of data that comes in through its
Foursquare mobile check-in app, which can be turned into a
recommendation engine for consumers looking for new places to explore.
“We’re enabling people to cut through the data stream in a way that no
one has done before,” Crowley said today during a keynote address at the
Mobile World Congress show.
That kind of use of personal data may freak some users out, but Crowley
said the suggestions and recommendations are well received.
