FourWhere and Google Maps

... this content in a user-friendly way - not only for users of location-based services but non-users as well.

To tackle this problem, Sysomos developed FourWhere, a service that mashes up data and content from Foursquare with the Google Maps API. In a nutshell, FourWhere provides an easy way to find content posted by Foursquare users. For example, if you're looking for a cafe in the heart of Manhattan, FourWhere lets you search using an address to see all the venues and comments for all the places "checked-in" by Foursquare users.

To use FourWhere, visit www.fourwhere.com. Then, type in a city or address in the search box. This will display a map. Right-click on the map to see the different options to see the available venues and comments.

For Sysomos, the launch of FourWhere yesterday is a just a solid step forward. In the future, content analytics will be integrated into FourWhere, as well as content and data from other social media sources.
