Apple, Foursquare in talks over data-sharing deal
- USA: Thursday, December 20 - 2012 at 00:22
Apple Inc. is in early discussions to integrate local data from Foursquare Labs Inc. into its mapping application, as the company continues to build an arsenal of local data to try to take on Google Inc., the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the talks. The discussions with New York-based Foursquare are aimed at improving its new mapping product, which has had a rocky reception when it was released in September and currently faces fierce competition from Google. Foursquare develops a popular mobile app that helps people find local places and tells their friends when they are at venues like bars and restaurants.
