FourSquare, which was the breakout app at South By Southwest in 2009 has just released their latest numbers. According to FourSquare they now have 20 million registered users. Those users have accounted for 2 billion checkins over all and they’re seeing growth of about a million users per month.

In contrast, Instagram, which was just purchased by Facebook for $1 billion dollars last week, has 40 million users and has only been around since October of 2010. Pinterest, which released in private beta in March of 2010 has an estimated 17.8 million registered users as of March 2012, according to comscore.  Google+ reportedly has 61 million active users. So in comparison to the hot up and coming social networks Foursquare is in the rear view mirror.

Today was 4 Square day and the company used a special check in not to thank their users:

In 2010, foursquare fans declared April 16 4sqDay (4/4^2 – nerds after our own heart!). Two years and two billion check-ins later, you’re still why we get out of bed each day. Thanks to all 20 million of you for making us part of your lives. Happy 4sqDay!
