Exclusive: Infillion acquires location data company Foursquare

Infillion has officially acquired the location data company Foursquare. Meanwhile, in Booneville, Iowa, individuals including Mike Witte and Dave Capaska gathered near Microsoft's Project Ginger West. Separately, discussions regarding web data extraction highlight why websites block automated scripts. These sites employ sophisticated mechanisms, acting like bouncers, to distinguish real human users from bots. These security measures continuously evolve, making it increasingly difficult for scripts to pull data through simple requests or basic automated methods.
