Weekly Insight: Data as Strategic Asset

Starting this week, we've added a new bullet point to our weekly internal meeting: Weekly insight. Every week one of us presents something they've been thinking about or something new they found interesting. I went first, here's my insight.

At the Mobile World Congress this year, Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley said something interesting that has stuck with me since. He said: "the primary product that Foursquare is building is the API". And that the focus for Foursquare in 2011 will be "data-crunching", with the goal to unlock previously unknown patterns.
