I loved Gowalla (2007). Facebook killed it and deleted / stole all the checkins, lost forever,
Moved to Foursquare (2012) and started again then to Swarm (which carried checkins over same company) Gowalla came back died again, didn’t stop using Swarm so that’s ok but
Important Reminder: The Foursquare City Guide app officially sunset on December 15, 2024, with the web version following in early 2025. However, your check-in journey doesn’t end here! Join us on Swarm, where new adventures await.
If Swarm goes under they better have an export option! @manton maybe a new importer side project
