Geolocation Technology: Infographics on History and Timeline

The recent " news"  of  Foursquare has just passed 5 million users is a great achievement for the history of a concept of " geolocation services" that is still very few .

It’s taken just a month and a half for the location-based social network to accumulate one million more members.According to Crunchbase , It took the same amount of time for Foursquare to reach four million members and for the network to hit 3 million users.

 

Some thought Foursquare would be doomed following the debut of Facebook’s location-based feature, Places but the services could be complimentary as the Places API, serves as a platform for services like Foursquare and Gowalla. And Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley reported that the network had its biggest day of signups following Facebook’s announcement.
