imageBloomberg reports that Microsoft is in talks with Foursquare to purchase a stake in the company.

While talks are in an advanced stage, the Bloomberg’s sources report it is not a done deal yet.

Neither Microsoft or FourSquare commented on the rumour.

FourSquare could bring some of the same social-based location data to Bing Maps as Waze has brought to Google, which may be the secret motivator behind the deal.

Do our readers think Microsoft should be more aggressive about harvesting such start-ups and their innovation/talent? Let us know below.
