Twitter Partners with Foursquare for Location Data

When you tweet that you’re at a rockin’ concert or your favorite coffee shop, that information will now be powered by Foursquare.

The two companies announced an agreement Monday, as Foursquare will power location data on tweets where users tag a location.

Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley wrote about the partnership in a Medium blog post:

This is a big deal for Foursquare — not just because we all love Twitter and we’re psyched to be a part of what they’re building, but because it’s yet another example of how ubiquitous the Foursquare platform is becoming — this “location layer of the internet” you’ve probably heard us talk about.
