Sources Say Yahoo, Foursquare Are Not in Talks

By Peter Kafka
Peter Kafka covers media and technology, and their intersection, at Vox. Many of his stories can be found in his Kafka on Media newsletter, and he also hosts the Recode Media podcast.

Yahoo is not in talks to buy local recommendations service Foursquare, according to multiple people familiar with the companies. Earlier today, TechCrunch reported a possible deal and floated a $900 million price tag.

Will you join us?

Our biggest supporters are our readers — and we’re so grateful to everyone who has made a contribution during our September campaign. We’re less than 1,000 contributions away from reaching our goal for the month, which in turn will allow us to say yes more often when our incredible journalists come to us with questions they want to answer and projects they want to pursue. Will you make a contribution before the month ends and support our policy coverage through 2024 and beyond?

Yes, I'll give $5/month
