Here’s an interesting article talking suggesting the launch Facebook Places (at least in the short run) actually benefits Foursquare by calling attention to geo-social activity. Foursquare claims that they had there biggest day ever the same day as the Places launch on FB, and that people will be drawn to them b/c of their offerings on top of check-ins. So, for now, they don’t seem too worried.
