Okay, we get it. Four square is making a living selling location data. The question is, how are they gathering it? My understanding is the majority of Google Maps installations have full access to location data, and so does Facebook and snapchat. All apps that have a wider install base than four square.<p>So what are their competitive advantage? What extra info does their users give and why do they give it?
