Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley has been thinking about and building geo-social apps for ten years. In Part III of this episode of Founder Stories, he tells host Chris Dixon, "Now is our best shot to push that stuff out there . . . [and] invent the future." What motivates him and his team is "just to get the deas out of our heads and get it into the hands of people."Crowley has been waiting a long time just for GPS chips to find their way into every phone, and now that is becoming a reality. It opens up so many possibilities beyond just the check-in. It can remind you of things you want to to do and recommend activities based on where you are and what your friends have done in the same place in the past. "If you think of the phone as a bunch of sensors stuck in this device connected to the network, how can I walk around the city and have the phone come alive and remind me, 'Oh this is a place you should go to lunch" or "this is the place you read an article about 6 months ago.'"
