How It Works
The Fourcast Engine predicts places a user would be interested in visiting, based on places they have already visited. The algorithm is trained on a dataset of millions of checkins before being applied on behalf of Fourcast users.
Mountains of Data
We start with a big database of real-world checkin data from leading services including Foursquare, Gowalla, Brightkite, and Facebook Places.
Cloud Intelligence
The core of the Fourcast engine is built on Hadoop, running on a cluster of high-performance CPUs in the cloud. This allows us to crunch all of this geodata at scale.
Cutting Edge Infrastructure
MongoDB, Redis, Resque, Rails 3... these are just a few of the many great tools that keep Fourcast humming.
