Foursquare won? Did I miss the memo?
Last I checked their active users had flat lined, AFAICT,Foursquare is going to have the same exit as Gowalla, possibly with the exception of riches to the founders and every one else left hold the bag.

I've tried both but still don't know the purpose of either.
welcome to the club!
Brightkite had geotagged photo uploading and an iOS app before Foursquare even existed. But they exited / acquihired while Gowalla and Foursquare were just ramping up. So it goes.
