Pretty much every app that needs location data uses FourSquare these days. I think that's the bigger vision here. Not exactly sure how it's monetized, but I see the opportunity.

If nobody is using Foursquare then there is no location data to sell.

Unless all those apps that use foursquare data are also sending data to foursquare.
