Thoughts:
Is the quality of the trend data they are selling going to go down with less users using FourSquare every day?
Or are they going to buy and sell location data from other people, possibly providing some data and analysis layer on top of it?
It was a little unclear on the article, but I'd be curious why a VC dropped $45M if they think the FourSquare checkin rate is trending to zero AND the new value is caught up in them doing something with location data, unless that location data is coming from somewhere else?
