Remember when we used to check in to places online to brag that we had places to go and people to meet? Well, according to Foursquare, the company behind the popular social location app, it wants to bring it back. In anon its site today, the company revealed that it is shutting down its City Guide app on December 15, 2024 in order to focus on Swarm, its other app that allows users to share their location with friends.
Foursquare says that it is shutting down the City Guide app to focus on Swarm. The company says that Swarm has a larger user base and is more aligned with its long-term vision. Foursquare also says that it will be introducing new features to Swarm that will make it even more useful for users. The web version of City Guide will continue to be accessible until early 2025 with no specific date given. Those that have businesses listed on City Guide will continue to be listed on Swarm.
Whether this strategy pays off for Foursquare remains to be seen. It does make sense, though, that the company would want to focus on the app that has the larger user base and is more aligned with its long-term vision, which is the case with Swarm. I am interested in seeing how the company will evolve and adapt to the changing landscape, and what new features the company will introduce to Swam in the future.
