[OSM-talk] FourSquare and OSM

[Tom MacWright]

The OSM API(s) are certainly useful for integration, but a different kind -
if they were pulling small chunks of data, etc., then they'd be using an
API, but at this point they're mainly using tiles. More to come, but at
this point the process looks like OSM Planet + update chunks -> TileMill
rendering -> MapBox Hosting -> Foursquare.
