Yahoo is negotiating the purchase of Foursquare

Recently, Yahoo experts led by Marissa Meier have been busy restructuring their business in the mobile segment.

Many publications write about the very possible largest for the company deal. The conversation is about buying Foursquare for as much as $ 900 million. In particular, TechCrunch reports such information, although it does not disclose sources, which can not but cause doubts.

Foursquare has recently been experiencing some problems, in connection with which it is not the first month that there is talk of selling the company. At the moment, the service is estimated at $ 600 million.

Some sources claim that the deed is done, but the formalities have not yet been settled. Others report a lack of reliable information and hint at the speculative nature of such statements. From what we conclude that either this is a complex multi-way speculation, or a leak of information from a narrow circle of persons initiated into the transaction. A Yahoo spokeswoman and geolocation service representatives declined to comment on such rumors.

Yahoo has also not been so smooth lately, and buying a Foursquare could have a significant impact, reinforcing search engine positions. There are unambiguous advantages - the accuracy of geolocation of Foursquare has not been disputed by anyone for a long time, and the service database regarding localization of consumer purchases and services can be honored by Google, and give others a head start.

As for Foursquare, there are a lot of different rumors now and most of them are frankly speculative in nature, and in order not to be in the role of that boy shouting “Wolves, wolves!”, We will not describe them. Let us leave the speculations to others, while we ourselves carefully observe from the side.
