I remember an article about how Gowalla was bringing SV talent to Austin. Heh.
This is definitely a big loss for Austin. There are still a few interesting startups in the area, but Gowalla was the one that made it a serious contender.
I'd love to hear the conversation at foursquare right now. I wonder if they're happy for their competitors, or maybe sad? Perhaps concerned that the check-in novelty is really dying off?
this has to be a talent acquisition. i wonder how long before gowalla product is mothballed? also wonder how little of a return their investors got?

B) Facebook isn't buying the product (they don't care about the product). They're just hiring a couple of engineers/designers/product folks.
Also, does anyone else find it amusing that CNN broke this news and there isn't a single mention of it anywhere on TechCrunch?
