Fast-growing Foursquare is looking to all of the major search providers for a potential data sharing deal, with co-founder Dennis Crowley telling The Telegraph that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are all potential partners. “Our data generates hugely interesting trends which would enrich search,” Crowley told The Telegraph in an interview.

VentureBeat notes that the deal would be similar to the one that Twitter inked last year with the search providers in which they pay to license the ongoing data stream. "Twitter helped the world and the search engines know what people are talking about," Crowley said in his interview with the Telegraph. "Foursquare would allow people to search for the types of place people are going to – and where is trending – not what.”

Foursquare, which allows users to "check-in" or announce their locations at local restaurants, hotels and bars, has been growing like a weed. Just last week, the company said that it had surpassed more than two million users. That followed a $20 million venture capital financing from Andreessen Horowitz, which reportedly valued the company at $95 million.

Interestingly, Microsoft's Bing recently inked a deal with Foursquare to embed data into Bing Maps.
