As check-in app Foursquare crosses the 2 million user mark, some of its biggest fans are already worrying it might turn into the next MySpace.

Dennis Crowley might be on top of the world now, but the Foursquare founder might want to tame his growing hubris. The CEO who called Google "hopeless" has been dissing Microsoft, too.

Foursquare just took a $20 million venture investment that valued the social network at $95 million. Congratulations, preening "mayors:" Your obsessive "checking in" with Foursquare's mobile software has been successfully monetized.

In a Wired UK cover story, Dennis Crowley spikes his blood alcohol to 13 percent, hits six consecutive parties and hints he drank six glasses of wine in one sitting. Which helps explain the Foursquare CEO's slam against ex-employer Google.

Russia's Digital Sky Technologies might be the toast of Silicon Valley, but the investment firm gives the Russian founder of Chatroulette the creeps. Sometimes it takes a teenager to say the obvious, rude things adults can't bring themselves to utter.

It looks more and more like Yahoo is offering big money for Foursquare—and like Foursquare creator Dennis Crowley is taking his time deciding whether to accept. It can't help that's he's lost one potential advisor, his longtime girlfriend.

Enraged by an annoying New York Times piece about a blogger bar and encouraged by our take down of Foursquare general hero Matt Langer created NoSquares a service that helps you to avoid venues overrun by Foursquare users. You're welcome.

Sometimes making a fortune is dumb, writes entrepreneur Charlie O'Donnell—which is why, O'Donnell adds, Foursquare will wisely walk away from a rumored $100 million offer from Yahoo. It's the sort of cocky move pioneered by companies like Twitter.

Yahoo's M&A deal-makers are deciding right now whether or not to buy super-hot location-based startup Foursquare for around $100 million, says a source close to bankers involved in Foursquare's current fundraising efforts.

The mobile phone fad Foursquare is about to hit 1 million users. But while early adopters have signed on to play their little games, it's just another narcissistic assault on decent society by urban-dwelling iPhone users.

Between "acting" gigs, Ashton Kutcher occasionally promotes social media enterprises by throwing the weight of his celebrity behind them. Previously he helped make Twitter. Now it's location-based network Foursquare. Except this time he stands to make a mint.

Foursquare has a piddlingly small user base. Which is precisely why it's is going to rule the world, say people quoted in today's New York Times story on the mobile-phone social network. This should sound familiar.

He might be fresh off a $1.4 million venture funding round and a leading player in the white-hot market for iPhone Apps. But a men's lifestyle publication has just revealed the shocking skeleton in Dennis Crowley's closet: "Curtains."

Foursquare has raised its first venture capital investment, and it couldn't have been easy: There are persistent rumors the social networking company stole its code from Google. Plus, it wanted to invest the money in a domain name. Ooof.

The Web was supposed to disintermediate business, replacing corruptible middlemen with accurate information fed directly to consumers. But judging from the restaurant industry's experience, it may have just made corruption more widespread and louche. Just look at this receipt:

Twitter is the ideal medium to express your own idiocy. Dan Abrams denounces the mainstream media which gave birth to his career, a Google-enriched entrepreneur eats its free lunch, and Alan Meckler discovers Twitter:

After Google bought Dodgeball from him and shut it down, New York entrepreneur Dennis Crowley knocked off his own idea to create Foursquare, a new friend-finding app. The coverage likewise feels familiar.

Too busy partying in Austin, Dennis Crowley never replied to our questions about whether Foursquare was built on code owned by Google. He's denied it to other press, but we hear he's telling buddies otherwise.
