Today, at the Where 2.0 Conference in Santa Clara, man-about-town Robert Scoble spoke with Foursquare Co-founder Dennis Crowley about future plans for the hot location-based service. According to Crowley, the future of Foursquare is going to focus squarely on what its users are going to do, not what they are doing. See what I did there? It's all well and good to track the realtime movements of its more than 8 million users , but the startup wants to make use of the loads of data it's collected on these realtime movements to help users plan what they should do next.
