Great move indeed. I for instance just invited a friend of mine that
happens to be a 4sq super-user to edit OSM. He loves 4sq and never cared
too much for OSM, now he'll probably give us a little love =)

is there a way to share foursqure data with osm? Do foursquare users
release all right to entered data to forusquare? If so, then foursquare
could (if they decided so) release that data to OSM community, right?

Hi
I really doubt that foursquare will release their data for free. See
eg. this blog [1].
But you'll never find out until somebody asks directly...
Yours, S.

What am I missing here
A use case may be in Syria. Aid agencies want to know, for example, the
location of bakeries in Syria because these have been targeted during the
ongoing violence over.
Someone may have checked into a bakery on FourSquare at lat=34.716286
lon=36.727005. This would then be

Do you use foursquare? They switched to osm.

The majority of foursquare users wont switch to OSM - the superusers

indoor locations the coordinate is usually off by hundreds of meters. I
would vote not to use it.
One strength of OSM is that data is usually more accurate then other
sources. We should not give away this by

Hi Lester
I think, an initial approach would be, that foursquare would offer a
subset of their data to OSM with the purpose that mappers can
integrate this data into OSM.
So the primary POI will be clean OSM data by definition.
Obviously there could be duplicates which would be an interesting

The locations they are directing to need to be on the map and that should

The main point was that the material 'added' to osm is properly licensed
to osm. I'd not considered that there would be substantial POI data in
foursquare that was not already present in some format in osm. This may be
a 'country' facet since I'm only looking at UK data and certainly dumping
Great move by Foursquare. I wouldn't mind to see more interaction between
Foursquare and OSM. For instance, it's quite easy to put the entrance of
POI's in OSM, which can be handy in the Foursquare app to navigate to that
entrance (or for example the nearby parking lot).

Hi
Interesting news from yesterday's Foursquare blog [1]: Today, we’re
expanding upon that by encouraging our community to directly edit map
data. (...). See also [2].
Yours, Stefan
P.S. I'm collecting everything I find around location based systems
and gamification while preparing my lightning
Hi,
It is fantastic news that foursquare is adding an edit OSM button into
their interface. Hopefully they have good luck with it and roll it out
everywhere.
Craigslist, how about an edit OSM button too?

This is great! Does anyone (cough cough Elliott Plack) know if there are
local Foursquare superuser groups? We could invite them to Editathons and
other mapping parties!
