My mindset is of the person who is still unsure whether they have enough money in their ATM to go to another bar. I lived that way when I was unemployed, when I was a snowboard instructor, and when I was at NYU. A lot of my personality is stuck in those five years, and I don't know if that's ever gonna change.

From Dennis Crowley

Between the three, Facebook is literally everyone I've ever shaken hands with at a conference or kissed on the cheek at Easter. Twitter seems to be everyone I am entertained by or I wish to meet some day. Foursquare seems to be everyone I run into on a regular basis. All three of those social graphs are powerful in their own.

From Dennis Crowley

Forget about where you want to be and go out and build stuff. Dodgeball came from being bored at work... things happen because you make them happen. Stop sketching, and start building.

From Dennis Crowley

It's difficult to build services that are supposed to scale to, you know, 30, 50, 100 million users right off the bat because they got to be kind of tailored down; by definition, they have to be a little bit generic to speak to that large of an audience.

From Dennis Crowley

Facebook is about sharing experiences that you've had. Foursquare is more about the present tense and the future tense.

From Dennis Crowley

Whatever way that we have in our head that we expect people to use a software, they'll find other interesting ways to use it that we didn't expect.

From Dennis Crowley

Foursquare makes maps special. We take maps that are blank and put dots on them to help you figure out what to do.

From Dennis Crowley

My buddies are like, 'You live the most amazing life!' Well, I'm working like a dog. I come home most nights and pass out on the couch.

From Dennis Crowley

I keep a notebook in my pocket, and I write down all the stuff we could ever do with Foursquare.

From Dennis Crowley

People share everything on Facebook. That can be a very good thing or a very noisy thing. With Foursquare, people know that they're getting information specifically about a place, advice about where they are and what they could be doing. It's a very filtered view of the world.
