Is Foursquare Dead?

Venture Beat doesn’t think so, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong. But, before I discuss the article, a little background on why someone allergic to social media like me became a Foursquare nut.

There seems to be some clarity on exactly how American Airlines will handle restrictions for ticket sales in Argentina.
